Note: I am currently based in the USA (Connecticut), presumably for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. I am still teaching and lecturing online; please email me directly if you are interested in private videoconference lessons or lectures for yourself or a group.

This is a list of upcoming events at which I will be teaching, calling, or DJing. Links and details are updated as they get closer, and I regularly add new events and classes. The current month's gigs can always be found at the top of the blog.
Events and classes marked private are just that. They are included to head off inquiries about availability on those dates.
For Russian-language information and questions about my classes in Russia, please see my VK community.

Онлайн-пікнік зі Сьюзан де Гуардіола та історії ампірної доби (Facebook event)
Online Regency Picnic and StoryTime with Susan de Guardiola
19:00-21:30 (Kyiv time). Dress up in Regency costume and take tea with me online! The first hour will be story time on the theme of "Regency Dancers Behaving Badly" with time for questions. This will be followed by tea (make your own!) and social time, during which I will take and answer random dance questions as best I can. Questions submitted in advance via the Facebook event will have the best chance of getting good answers! Regency costume is admired but not required - other historical or fantastical costume, or simply nice modern clothes are also fine. Language: English from Susan, translation to Ukrainian/Russian as needed. No set price, but donations (Paypal) are happily accepted. Arrangements are being made for Ukrainians to donate by credit/debit card.
Saturday-Sunday, May 23rd-24th ~ ONLINE / Russia-based
Historical Dance Festival Online
for Международный фестиваль"Анно Домини"
10:00-18:00 (Moscow time) Saturday / 10:00-19:00 (Moscow time) Sunday. An online festival of classes and lectures with teachers from Russia, France, England, and the USA! Material will range from the early 17th century through the 1920s. I will deliver a lecture/class intended as a pair, though each also stands alone. The lecture (in English with Russian translation) will be on the ballroom gavottes of the 1910s. This will be from 18:00-19:00 Moscow time/11:00am-noon NYC time on Saturday. The class will be on a specific gavotte recital piece which can be danced solo - perfect for quarantined individuals! - though it was also noted as possible for four or eight dancers. This class will be in some mixture of English and Russian, with translation as needed in both directions, and will be held from 15:00-16:00 Moscow time/8:00-9:00am NYC time on Sunday. Please adjust times for your own time zone! Registration/price TBA.

Early Dance Circle Biennial Conference 2021: Retrieving & Reconstructing the Past through Dance (PDF info/registration form)
This conference will feature an international set of speakers on historical dance topics spanning the 15th century to the 20th, plus five workshops, three performances, and an evening of participatory dance. I will be presenting a paper on the history of the nineteenth-century Varsovienne and teaching a workshop on performance of the Varsovienne from the mid- to late nineteenth century. A full list of contributors and paper/workshop topics is included on the form linked above. NOTE: if any English groups are interested in workshops, I will probably stay in the UK for a few days before and/or after this conference.
