Yesterday we ran a dance session online for our wonderful friend who lives in a different country for half the year.
How great is that! We can still feel so connected to our friend even though he is not in the room.
Our online sessions link us to friends who cannot be with us in person. They are SO valuable ♥️

Our dancer Charles lives in a different country for part of the year. So we connect with him via zoom.

Some people aren't able to make sessions in person, for many reasons. Online sessions are a great way to get together in a different way. We can still do all the things our in person sessions offer

- dancing
- acting
- socialising
