Utica Dance, New York

This one’s a little different, but I LOVE the use of technology to keep the arts alive! Great innovation from Utica Dance, taking classes online!! From the submission, written by Nancy Long:

I closed Utica Dance school on Thursday, 3/12/2020 and soon discovered that the first case of Covid-19 in upstate New York was just miles from us. Our students, like all children and adults were either in denial or reeling from the news. Anxious to maintain to the closeness and optimism I sent out the first assignment via text and scheduled our first virtual class for Saturday. Here is the assignment and photo of our first meeting.
