Dancing from Home

As all of our lives have been disrupted by the corona virus, we feel that movement is essential for our mental health. We're offering a variety of opportunities for you do get some dance in.

One of the things we are noticing is the [obvious] difference between coming to class in our studio and dancing from your home. Our own spaces come with a variety of pleasures and distractions. With this in mind we have these suggestions:

consider your space and where you will dance...make sure you have physical room.

think about privacy with other members of your household, including pets. Some might be more distracting, while others might bring added joy.

Be aware that our own spaces can bring distractions and tugs on our attention... the dishes in the sink, a dusty shelf or a to-do list might pull you away from dance. Consider this before and during the dance session.

Is there something you would like to add to your space to create your own opening? Maybe light a candle, put out some flowers...what can you do to create a lovely space for your dance?

And here are answers to some of the technical questions:

What Platforms we will use to connect classes online?

We will connect through Zoom. A link will be sent to you by email one hour before class.

What will I need to Participate?

Video: A video enabled computer is the best option for participation because it seems to be the easiest to navigate. A video phone or tablet can also work. For phones or tablets you will need to download the Zoom Meetings App.

Sound: Most computers have internal speakers, however you may want headphones or bluetooth speakers if you have them.

How will the music work?

Once we are all on Zoom, we are able to stream the music right to your computer!

How much will it cost? How will I pay?

This move to online classes is a way for us to keep our community together until we are able to meet in person again. It is also a way for Winky & Meshi to have income in these uncertain times. We understand that we are not alone in facing financial stresses that none of us anticipated.

All our classes are Sliding Scale from $25 down to $0

We trust that people will pay what they truly can. ~For those who can not.... join us! We all need to know that we are not alone. Email Meshi or Winky
