What a year it has been. When the pandemic struck, like everything else my dance class was cancelled. At the time, I thought it was important to start teaching online right away so that the dancers in my class would have consolation in SOME way for us all to stay connected. Turns out, that wasn't what the dancers in my class wanted.
But I've met many other people through this virtual teaching journey who DO want to learn online. At first, I used Facebook Live for teaching. Over the past year I've learned about Zoom. You can dance any night of the week on Zoom if you want to! You can visit groups in Texas, Chicago, the east coast...
The thing I am most proud of about teaching folk dancing is the community it creates. Now I feel like part of a much wider community.
