I stay at Vegas for the past winter, and I took an intermediate Ballet class at the Rock Center for Dance. During Pandemic shut down, I found out The studio offered Zoom for the class.
I decided to join in, Stuff is great, I feel still connect to the studio from long distance. I recommend this class to dancers.
