A typical day during a very atypical time. For a social media project with the Dancing Wheels Company, I took over the company’s Instagram story to share snippets of how I continue to dance while in self-isolation.
I want to acknowledge that I know I have been so lucky to keep my job as a dancer, as I know so many artists around the world are struggling during this time. Every day I can wake up with this security, and I do not take it for granted. Dancing Wheels received a loan to keep dancers and staff like myself employed.
In my social media takeover, I shared not only how my jobs as a Company Dancer and Tour Manager have changed, but I also shared what I have been doing to keep happy and stay hopeful during these difficult times.
