Surviving the pandemic: Manual of resistance and adaptation of a small private dance school

Abstract

During the period between march of last year and today, the entire world has been forced to change its social behavior due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The limitations imposed, such as the safety distance, the use of masks, the ventilation of closed spaces, have affected the ordinary operation of the dance school from two perspectives: methodological, and logistics. Teachers and students have undergone an adaptation imposed by the reality of the health crisis, which they have been assuming with a positive attitude, putting their desire for continuity in the teaching/learning process before the ostensible and novel discomforts that have occurred the spread of the virus. This article aims to analyze the human resilience capacity that is allowing the development of new methods and strategies for the transmission and reception of technical and artistic concepts, compatible with the already hackneyed new normality.
