“When Covid hit in spring 2020 I ending up teaching online asynchronously and synchronously to finish out the the school year.  With everything still closed at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year, we lost a lot of teaching contracts. However, we made the decision to teach in the park. Because we normally go through a school or another community organization to teach our classes, we did a lot of work to locate our students from these schools and organizations and tell their parents about the park classes. I loved seeing the kids so very excited and happy to see each other. In addition, our outreach went even further as we met and enrolled children from the neighborhood to join us. We became a dancing community in the park! It was lovely.”
