Few art forms have been as crippled by the pandemic as the performing arts, which necessitates an audience by nature. Diane Collins of DC dance, however, has decided that the show must go on and stretched the company’s creative capacities to safely film a 30 routine dance show.
Collins rented a warehouse space, transported a dance floor, assembled a camera team, and meticulously followed COVID restrictions to produce the annual holiday show in a virtual format.
For her students who have spent months cooped up at home behind computer screens, the opportunity to continue dancing has been an invaluable outlet.
