I'll have just one short trip in December, plus a Christmas waltz party and wrapping up my classes for the year! Plus, I'll be teaching a quick lesson in cross-step waltz (probably the standard mixer) at a Russian-organized ball. I'm hoping to do this entirely in my still-fragmented but (hopefully) comprehensible Russian, with no English at all and without using a translator. We'll see how that goes…

November 2018 Gig Calendar
November will be rather hectic, with a journey to Kyiv, Ukraine, for our third Kyiv Waltz Weekend and a grueling weekend trip back to the USA for the Remembrance Day Balls in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. See you on the dance floor!
-
October 2018 Gig Calendar
Back in Moscow for the school year! I'll be doing four courses this autumn on cross-step waltz and historical dance plus a small waltz party at the end of the month. No travel before November as I settle in!

September 2018 Gig Calendar
September includes my last few weeks in the USA before my biannual transatlantic migration; the last week will be spent settling into my Moscow life once more. I'll be taking some vacation early in the month (real vacation this time – no dance gigs sneaking in!) and then have some research time and a pair of DJ gigs in Boston before heading home to pack!
Once in Moscow, I'll pick up my autumn schedule quickly with a waltz party to launch my cross-step classes and a pair of historical classes covering the 1880s-1890s and 1910s with a special emphasis on dance connections to Russia in both France and America.

August 2018 Gig Calendar
Emerging from my summer hibernation — how did I get my hibernation season so out of whack? — I'll be on the road this month for blues in Boston (sadly, this trip has been canceled) and a somewhat random bunch of workshops in San Jose, California, where a non-dance-related trip has turned into something of a busman's holiday!

July 2018 Gig Calendar
July is going to be another quiet month for me, holed up at home doing a bunch of unrelated work, writing, research, etc. I'll make a brief research trip to Boston and do some DJing on the side, and I may be out and about later in the month.

June 2018 Gig Calendar
I'm thrilled to start out June with another trip to Kyiv before heading back to the USA at last!
I am not planning any further public classes in June, just research, writing, and non-dance projects. And maybe a little vacation!
-
May 2018 Gig Calendar
A light month for me, with the first half of it taken out by Russian holidays and some private travel. I'll only have a short cross-step course and a final party before I head back to the USA for the summer!
-
April 2018 Gig Calendar
April is going to be a little bit insane for me with preparing new dances and classes for the Kyiv (Ukraine) dance festival and ongoing non-dance-related volunteer work. I'll be continuing with a waltz class and hoping to get out to some of the post-Easter Moscow balls!
Sanity and time will return in May…
-
March 2018 Gig Calendar
I'm planning another quiet month in March, as I have some substantial non-dance-related obligations for the last half of the month. I'll be continuing my public and private waltz classes, but otherwise will be fairly invisible!
Any groups or individuals in Moscow or elsewhere in Russia or Europe that might be interested in workshops from now through May should contact me directly. American gigs can resume in June!
