Our Annual Holiday Waltz and Contra Ball

  • Church of the Ascension 127 Kent Street Brooklyn, NY, 11222 United States (map)

Kick off the holiday season with a magical dance!

We’ll see you at a very special location, the Church of the Ascension on Kent St. in Greenpoint for our annual holiday waltz ball! We’ll have music from the magical Some Assembly Required Trio with a special waltz lesson and calling from Alexandra Deis-Lauby.

The Some Assembly Required Trio brings the energy of NYC's best musicians to the Brooklyn Contra stage. Headlined by Matthew Christian's Irish fiddling, you never know who'll show up, from folks fresh of the Broadway or Grand Ol Opry stage to a harmonious cello or a trombone playing mandolin picker.

Alexandra Deis Lauby is a NYC-based folk dancer, caller, teacher, and organizer, who calls weekends 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.  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 has dances for all the folks!
