Well – it has happened.  This morning’s trawl across the English-speaking world has disclosed nothing of a sort that we would normally include here.

 

Dance Magazine has put up a list of online performances – some excerpts are at that link.

 

“We will get through this” we say – yet it must be fair to say that we cannot predict with any certainty just how that will be done, or what will emerge from the tunnel we have just entered.  One writer for the Glasgow Herald offers a thought here.

 

For now, stay safe and let’s see what tomorrow brings.

The thrice-accursed virus continues to dominate, with nothing to report other than reactions:

 

-  Michelle Potter catches up on a Royal Ballet Swan Lake DVD: ... on dancing

 

-  but Scottish Ballet won’t open theirs: Nadine McBay, The National

 

-  Royal Opera House Online: Zoe Paskett, Evening Standard

 

-  Why dancing makes you happier: Dr Peter Lovatt, The Times

 

 

BUT, we’ll see what the Sunday papers/magazines bring and decide how/if this service can continue.
