Video lessons during confinement
With classical music, the dancers perform a series of movements, and, as a bar, hold the railing separating the esplanade from the Wilson garden. Little by little, they took possession of the space, something they had been unable to do during the entire confinement. 
Alexandra Martin-Volcovici underlines: “Like everyone else, we had to close and adapt. We have set up courses on Zoom. The students danced in their room which allowed them to keep a training. But it’s not the same thing. It doesn’t have the same feeling. Besides, it lacked movement in space. “
