Dance, Music, & Song Camps
A NYC-based folk dancer, caller, teacher, and organizer, Alexandra Deis-Lauby calls dance weekends, camps, and festivals all over the country. She tours, calling local dances for both contra and English country dance. She also calls community, teen, and family dances as well as weddings and parties.
Her clear teaching, smooth voice, and fun dance selection delight dancers coast to coast (and once in Paris, France!). Alex is excellent with all levels of dancers, whether they just walked in the door or have been dancing since before she was born. She enjoys challenging the brains of experienced dancers and making dance accessible for newbies. She has dances for all the folks!
Alex enjoys mentoring new callers in the NYC region and beyond. When she is not calling or dancing, she can be found sword dancing with Half Moon Sword, singing in choirs (with the Oratorio Society of New York and Florilegium Chamber Choir), playing the piano, dance organizing, and learning new fiber arts.
