While daily life is usually filled with responsibilities and obligations, the current global situation is forcing a large part of the Quebec population to stay at home with very little to do. It is therefore important to create a schedule adapted to the situation in order to keep our spirits up. And, these six free live dance classes for moving at home are perfect for that.
In addition to reorganizing your entire room, picking up forgotten hobbies, and catching up on your reading, you can also make sure you get your daily dose of physical activity.
With these options, you'll feel a little less isolated and get to work on your fitness.
Just make a little to-do list that includes setting a time for your favourite class, opening windows and pretending to be somewhere else for a few moments.
Dancing not only gets you moving, but it's also tons of fun — and that's exactly what people need right now.
The classes are all free. But, for the most part, voluntary contributions are accepted as a way to support the dance teacher leading them.
