Not every teacher feels able to give to their students through the computer screen. Not everyone is able to dance from home or rent a studio to take a virtual class. This is clearer than ever but there have been major challenges in shifting to a virtual dance world. Dance is a precious gift as is the act of sharing it with other people.
