– Patrick Demarchelier
The pandemic has been going on for over two years. Dancing in the living room gets old after a while. The floor and the space are not always ideal. Children and pets can be a distraction.
Tuesday Night Revival from Boston posts videos from their Zoom sessions. (When I first heard the name I thought it was a religious meeting.) The reason for the name has to do with Tuesday night sessions that were held at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) until the 1990's, when they switched over to Saturdays. They focus primarily on dances from the Balkans.
When dancers could no longer meet in person, they, along with many other groups, used the Zoom platform. Tuesday Night Revival currently does a hybrid program (in-person dance as well as on Zoom). What is great about the hybrid programs is that dancers who live at a distance can join them from their living room.
This video got my attention because the dogs stole the show. At 1:34 two dogs get up from the couch and demand attention. It's amazing how the dancers concentrate with the canine distraction (It's actually quite cute). The dance is Vlashko, from Bulgaria.
The link to the video on YouTube is below. I didn't embed it because it is copyrighted.
