How are you young dancers coping ?

My daughter is a dance teacher, mostly ballet and tap. She is teaching from home with  Zoom. 

She is certified to teach Progressing Ballet Technique.  A lot of the ballet students are taking this class from them to keep in shape.

She lives in California. She now has a couple of private PBT classes with students from a studio in the midwest her friend runs. 

For her tap class she had each student send her a tape of them tapping their holiday tap dance. She and her husband spent a weekend editing it into one presentation and then sent it back to the studio. All the student and parents can watch it. 

I was a dancer too.  All in all, teaching  in Zoom is turning out better than I thought it could. Although everyone wants back into the classroom.  They are making do. But they have lost many dancers. Hopefully they can pick up again at some point next year. 

The studio has a contemporary/ballet class for older women. Their oldest dance just turned 90 and still is performing.  

I have never seen that film Kes where the little coal miner saves up for a tutu and dances swan lake in his pit boots, but I sympathise with those who wish to follow their dreams.  'To your own self be true'.  That was what Walt Disney said.
