Well, Costume College, in Woodland Hills, California (Los Angeles area), is a great conference to attend. The dates for 2013 are August 1-5. Go to their website www.costumecollege.net to find out what went on at the 2012 conference.
As for dance, Rebecca Ellis might be able to give you ideas in the mid-Atlantic region for places to teach dance workshop. She is an actress who also teaches Baroque/Restoration dances. Go to rebecca-ellis.com for contact information.

At this stage I have listed Kentucky, Williamsburg, Connecticut, Massachusetts and am branching out from there. We're hoping to teach dance workshops and/or call a dance for friends who can billet us and help with some monetary contributions that can help pay towards our air fares. Era-wise we teach dances from 1450 Renaissance through to 1900 Vintage Dance - all the styles in between. Costume-wise, I will probably just be taking my regency and 1780s costumes as we'll be heading to the UK and the Jane Austen Festival in Bath at the end. Costume-wise - you probably already have enough experts out there teaching georgian and regency stays and costume workshops, but that is what am teaching a lot of here. I teach other eras but not as much. Costume Event-wise - I attend as many historical costume talks/workshops/displays as possible by others because I am really keen to learn. Hope that helps a bit more to give you a clearer picture. *Aylwen Gardiner-Garden* * On 12 October 2012 03:42, Lynn Downward <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Alwen, > > The US is even bigger than Australia.
