TEACHING DANCING/FITNESS CLASSES ONLINE WITH ZOOM

TEACHING DANCING/FITNESS CLASSES ONLINE WITH ZOOM

The pending isolation requirements means that very soon classes will not be able to be attended in person, so they have to be cancelled or move online. This is not an easy thing to do remotely, there is much more complexity than just moving your regular Monday meeting online. So, using my day job skills, I’ve worked out the best way to teach dancing over an online conferencing platform. This blog post will go through the basic set up that will work with little to no extra equipment. I will follow this up with another post that shows you and your students how to download Zoom. I will also follow with another post which covers some optional extras to improve the quality of your sound, video and set up if you want to take the extra steps.

EDINBURGH FRINGE 2019

EDINBURGH FRINGE 2019

Another August, another Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  Our families, extended families and friends have a great tradition of meeting up each year at the fringe.  This year was no disappointment.  I love going to the theatre and seeing musicals, tap and ballet dance.  I also love going to see science or Sci-Fi shows.  With the range of amazing shows on clearly the fringe is the place for me!

This year I managed to go to see shows covering data science, wolverine, coding, tap dance, interdimensionality, maths, classic Sci-Fi, parallel universes and computer games to list just the main categories.  Not a bad haul.  I also experienced torrential rain, freezing temperatures, impressive thunder and blistering heat.  Just your traditional Edinburgh experience!  If you're going to the fringe and want my top picks, then read on.
