DALA News:

Dance Arts Los Alamos (DALA) Director Jonathan Guise has found a way to reach out to ballet dancers, promote community within the DALA family and keep everyone safe and happy while complying with social distancing during the public health emergency.

DALA will be closed until April 6 but but Monday evening Director Jonathan Guise began teaching a live ballet class and also a modern dance class via the internet.

His students can see him and he can see them so he is able to give corrections and, most importantly, encouragement. DALA will be exploring ways to expand this new way of teaching over the next three weeks.

Guise can be reached by email at jonathan@danceartslosalamos.org.
