Alex Leis-Dauby

A NYC-based folk dancer, caller, teacher, and organizer, Alexandra 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!

This past year, she has expanded her mentorship of new callers, working with Brooklyn Contra for a series of caller workshops aimed at developing new callers in the NYC region. When she is not calling or dancing, she can be found sword dancing with Half Moon Sword, singing in choir (with the Oratorio Society of New York), playing the piano, dance organizing and completing her Masters of Public Administration at CUNY Baruch’s Marxe School.
