Tribeca-based Battery Dance is going live with free dance classes and programming for the general public. With the cancellation of its dance classes in the public schools and a scheduled tour of Nigeria, Battery Dance launched Battery Dance TV, with company staff leading a variety of movement offerings from their apartments. There are stretching and conditioning exercises in the morning, classes in contemporary dance and short video performances in the afternoon and evening ballroom classes. Go here for the schedule.
“For 45 years, we have explored the power of dance as an art form and a means for social impact and connection,” Battery Dance executive director Jonathan Hollander said in a statement. “We are not going to stop now.”
