Dancing through this

March 18, 2020 7:13 PM

I live in a studio in NYC and am having a hard time staying motivated to be active. I want to learn some dances and need some good sources

So I’m trying to keep up my daily steps with a walk around my neighborhood, but even after 5 days of social distancing I’m feeling the impact. I am not the best at working out, but I do like to dance and especially learn a routine (think hip hop type dance, not ballet or ballroom).

Is there anything you can point to online? Happy to pay a subscription while we get through this. Just looking for something people like before blindly signing up for everything. Ideally would be dancing/learning an hour a day.

A friend of mine loves dance church and they are steaming online.

I shouldn’t read Page Six but if I didn’t I wouldn’t know that Debbie Allen is hosting dance classes on her Insta. And that’s awesome.

If you don’t mind the video game format, I’ve been finding Just dance really good for this.

Rosas Danst Rosas, "join the queen of Belgian avant-garde performance Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker as she talks you through how to perform her 1983 classic Rosas Danst Rosas. All you need is a chair, a bit of legroom and enough space to swing your hair."
From this page of mostly performance.
