While we are apart for this short while, remember that practicing social distance does not mean we have to be alone!
Throughout history Athletes & Artists have been known to be the change makers of their times. Now in 2020, the dance community has proven that still holds true. Right now, there are free virtual dance classes being offered all over the world. These classes facilitate a way for the community to come together while many are physically separated & financially strained due to the cancellation of in-person classes & events.
For your convenience, we have compiled a list of the free dance classes currently being offered virtually right now! We will continue to update this list here. If you have any additions or further information please email us at athletesandartists@gmail.com.
Thank you to our generous community of Athletes & Artists for continuing to bring us together even when we are apart!
