Video Angst II
A couple of years ago, I wrote a blog about watching yourself dancing on video.
In the time of the Coronavirus, it seems more relevant than ever.
Every Zoom class we teach is automatically recorded and sent out to every student, so they can keep practicing and studying the material.
I knew it was only a matter of time before the comments started coming in:
Dress-Up In Lock-Down?
One of the most widely used words these days: unprecedented.
We live in unprecedented times. And surely dancing tango in our living room is no exception.
Four weeks ago when lockdown in the UK began, most people had never even heard of Zoom.
Now taking a Zoom class is the new normal. Last week our daughters tried a drama class by Zoom. And our nieces in a northern city of Argentina are taking Zoom ballet classes.
Staying in really has become the new going out. But do we dance tango in our pyjamas or do we get a little dressed up for the occasion?
Tango in Our Kitchen
In the current crisis, our everyday routines have been turned on their heads.
But you can keep up your tango skills – with or without a partner – in the smallest of spaces and incorporate it in your daily tasks. As you wait for the kettle to boil, microwave to ping or toast to pop.
David and I have had fun with a tiny video project showing us practicing and improvising in our kitchen.
Restricted space? That’s no issue. Meandering cats who don’t understand the rules of tango floor craft … well, that’s more of a problem …
