The Ashokan Center’s annual New Year’s dance camp – this year extending from 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 29 to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 1 – features a high-octane New Year’s Eve Dance & Dinner Party, along with days of music and dance classes, evening dance parties, sing-alongs and jams.

You can also come for the NYE Dance & Dinner alone. The 6 p.m. four-course dinner is followed at 8 p.m. by couple dancing and called dances in two rooms ’til the wee hours, with a midnight countdown and more dancing in the upstairs Zydeco Lounge. Your dance style choices include swing, Cajun, Zydeco, contras, squares, blues and waltzes, with red-hot music to propel you, supplied by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason with Swingology, Christine Balfa & Balfa Toujours, the Russet Trio and Zydegroove. Casey Carr and John Krumm are the callers.

For the NYE Dance & Dinner only ($30 for the dance for adults, $15 for youth aged 5 to 25, $30 extra for dinner), visit www.eventbrite.com/e/new-years-eve-dinner-dance-2020-tickets-82382234481.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
