Paige and members of the New Bern Dancing Assembly were featured in the May 2007 issue of Our State (NC) magazine and on the cover of the Fall 2007 issue of the Tryon Palace magazine. The group performed at the Tryon Palace Christmas Candlelight Tours in December and is featured in a video posted on the Tryon Palace website. The group performed at the Lafayette 250 celebration in Fayetteville, NC in September, and offers an educational program with Baroque Arts Project musicians organized around the friendship that developed between the Marquis de Lafayette and General George Washington during the Revolutionary War.

The New Bern Dancing Assembly is for students from 4th through 12th grades. (NBDA classes may be open to adults interested in weekly classes.) Membership is by audition. Dancers enroll in a weekly Baroque Dance Class during the school year, intermediate or advanced, and perform at the Christmas Candlelight Tours at Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens. Other performances may be scheduled throughout the year, including school programs, appearances at festivals (Magnolia Baroque Festival), and presentations for orgranizations (Jamestowne Society). Members are assigned a costume for the season and pay a reasonable costume fee, although some members have elected to have their own costumes made. There are currently 12 dancers in the New Bern Dancing Assembly.
As early as 1785 New Bern had a dance club, The New-Bern Dancing-Assembly, which held bimonthly dancing parties called dancing assemblies. This dancing club in 18th-century New Bern serves as the name source for the youth dance company.
