East Riding Youth Dance (ERYD) term has had to be shortened by three weeks because of the government restrictions currently in place.
As a result, the Platform event that should have taken place at Bridlington Spa at the end of April has had to be cancelled.
However, all the young dancers have been invited to submit video clips from home for a special online project.
The videos will be used to create a snapshot of each of its group performances and build a digital platform to showcase the work that dancers have created this term.
The made videos will be published online next month via their social media platforms.
Alongside this, ERYD is working with their artists to run weekly sessions via the Facebook page and Instagram.
These are pre-recorded but open to anyone to get involved and have a dance. They are not however limited to ERYD participants.
Members of the community can also get involved and get moving from their homes during this period of isolation.
The sessions are typically 30 minutes. They are broken down into sections with warm-ups, exercises, dance sequences and a cool down.
Each week will take on a new artist and incorporate their style and approach to dance.
East Riding Youth Dance Want To Inspire The Whole Community Not Just Members
Lauren Frost of East Riding Youth Dance said:
“Our aim is to inspire people to move and come together as a community, with the focus that.”
“Although we are temporarily separated due to isolation, we can come together and create something inspiring and artistic.”
“We are also encouraging people of all ages to join in and highlight that dance is indeed for everybody.”
The sessions can be viewed via the Facebook/Instagram pages. They can also be seen on the new website www.ActiveEastRiding.co.uk which links to the Facebook pages.
