Saturday, July 17, marked the culmination of our pilot dance course, which had been resumed following the re-opening of our facilities for on-site classes. The pilot course began on April 19 with the participation of some of the students who had joined us in previous years and who even continued to do so during the virtual classes that our instructor Ariana Yaucán continued giving during the lockdown.
In order to adhere to social distancing regulations and other necessary measures for the safety of our girls, the groups did not exceed six students per class, and they and their guardians had to remember to wear their masks and keep a safe distance from one another within our facilities.
The courses went smoothly, and included girls aged between 2 and 13. Before the end of the course, we wanted to give all of the participants a little gift by organizing a mini-photo session with them in their dance uniforms. The photos were then emailed to each child’s guardian and those who wanted to also received printed copies of the five photos.
To the photoshoot, we had the collaboration of Álvaro Paja, a colleague of the Mi Cometa’s movement organization.
During the closing recital, two students also participated who had continued with their training online – Lola and Suany prepared their own choreography for the recital and also received their end-of-course certificates. (You can watch their presentation on YouTube).As the other participants were still unable to perform with an audience present, all of their presentations were also filmed and will be published gradually on our social media channels.
We would like to thank you all very much for your continued trust in our institution. We are very happy to have all of you with us again at Clave de Sur!
