As we’ve heard through the weeks, many organisations which work with young people have struggled to keep going through the lock-down. They’ve turned to the Internet to keep in contact with their students, be it theatre, film or dance. In many respects, dance has proved the most difficult.
The teachers try their best by making videos for YouTube or by demonstrating the lessons they would have given in the studio on Zoom. However, it’s much more stressful, deciding on content, recording it and coping with unfamiliar technology. On top of that, there is little or no feedback from the students other than their own, home-made videos showing the teachers if they had understood. This has been the challenge facing Lothian Dance Academy, which has also drawn on other resources to keep their community together.
