Face-to-Face Dance Classes during COVID-19 Pandemic
I co-authored a “how-to” guide for #COVID19 safe practices in the dance studio. Happy to see our journal article published but #vaccine and normalcy can’t come soon enough.
Dr. Filomar Tariao and I were classmates in medical school (from the INTARMED program). We both ended up in arts-related careers… him being more in the arts than medicine, and me being more medicine than in the arts. We are honored to be able to contribute to the literature about the ongoing pandemic.
When we started writing this in June, 2020, we wanted to get the information out ASAP because it might not be relevant for too long. It was accepted for publication in October. Yet here we are in January 2021, and the information is still relevant and applicable. Remember that despite the vaccine, we should continue to keep our distance, wear masks, wash hands and do all the other precautions until we get herd immunity. While the article discusses the Singapore experience – because that’s where Dr. Tariao teaches – it has practical tips that can be applicable to similar settings around the world.
