Dance
dancers conviction When Coronavirus hit, dance studios across the world closed, performances were cancelled, and stage debuts were put on hold
H
ere, at The Arbutus Club, all of our dancers had to take their jetes and pirouettes home.
While this unforeseeable pandemic disrupted our lives causing heartache and disssappintment, our dancer's conviction and dedication to their art form remained steady.
Strength, Stamina & Passion Turning inward to focus on strength, stamina and passion, dancers who are truly committed to their art continued practicing at home. Dancers modified their workouts to fit confined spaces like bedrooms and kitchens. Often relying on a chair instead of a bar, a living room instead of a studio, and a backyard instead of a stage, dance continued in the most surprising of spaces.
Preparation, Focus & Training The amount of preparation that goes into a dancers body before it gets moving is deeply understood by dancers. They turned to online sessions to help them focus on targeted strength and technique training.
Continued Growth in the Studio We are excited to be back in the studio this fall. While things look and feel a little different, we know our dancers are ready to showcase their continued growth at the Club. We are amazed by our impassioned twirlers, who (even in the craziest circumstances) remembered that dance is often what we need the most during times of adversity. arbutusclub.com
