Strange, but true.....

SEMI PRIVATE GROUP LESSONS.
Due to the pandemic our regular group class format has changed.
Pre COVID our group classes attracted 40+ people, but now in order to keep everybody safe and follow government guidelines for social distancing, only 4 couples will be enrolled.
Please note: Masks are worn for the duration of the class. No exceptions.
WHAT IS A SEMI PRIVATE LESSON?
A semi private lesson is where a small number of students share a lesson. With fewer participants there is plenty of time for one-on-one attention, maximising your experience and helping you reach your goal faster.
Next 8 week beginner Latin & Ballroom session starts
7:30pm -8:30pm Friday, November 20th.
If you prefer not to take part in the semi private lessons, private lessons are available by appointment.
Contact Susie for more details.

YES! WE ARE OPEN!
Welcome back dancers! Finally the studio is open again.
While everyone is still adapting to a new normal, Learn To Dance is adapting too.
At the moment, due to government guidelines for social distancing, we are only able to accommodate private and semi private classes. However, I am working on a plan to safely start group classes in the near future.
I am SO excited to see everyone, it's been way too long!
I hope you kept dancin'!!

Just for fun, here is my song for COVID 19!!
It was a hit 'across the pond' years ago, was it big here?

EVEN MORE LOCKDOWN LINGO!

*Furlough Merlot*
Wine consumed in an attempt to relieve the frustration of not working. Also known as “bored-eaux” or “cabernet tedium”.

*Coronadose*
An overdose of bad news from consuming too much media during a time of crisis. Can result in a panicdemic.

*The elephant in the Zoom*
The glaring issue during a videoconferencing call that nobody feels able to mention. E.g. one participant has dramatically put on weight, suddenly sprouted terrible facial hair or has a worryingly messy house visible in the background. LOL!

MORE LOCKDOWN LINGO!
*Le Creuset wrist*
It’s the new “avocado hand” - an aching arm after taking one’s best saucepan outside to bang during the weekly ‘Clap For Carers.’ It might be heavy but you’re keen to impress the neighbours with your high-quality kitchenware.

*Coronials*
As opposed to millennials, this refers to the future generation of babies conceived or born during coronavirus quarantine. They might also become known as “Generation C” or, more spookily, “Children of the Quarn”.

Do you have any COVID lingo to share?

LOCKDOWN LINGO - are you fully conversant with the new terminology?

*Coronacoaster*
The ups and downs of your mood during the pandemic. You’re loving lockdown one minute but suddenly weepy with anxiety the next. It truly is “an emotional coronacoaster”.

Maybe this will help?

*Quarantinis*
Experimental cocktails mixed from whatever random ingredients you have left in the house. The boozy equivalent of a store cupboard supper. Southern Comfort and Ribena quarantini with a glacé cherry garnish, anyone? These are sipped at “locktail hour”, ie. wine o’clock during lockdown, which seems to be creeping earlier with each passing week.

Lol!

This touched my heart.

A BIG THANK YOU!
Before the pandemic I hadn't realized just how many of LTD's students are either in the medical field or other parts of the essential services. Over the last few weeks I think we have all come to appreciate and respect these special individuals more than ever.
Please join me in sending a BIG THANK YOU to show our appreciation and support..

SURVIVAL TIPS.
How are you surviving through this pandemic? Apart from practicing your dancing (you are, right?!), do you have any survival tips to share?
Since the imposed isolation due to COVID-19 my family now have game night on Saturdays with my sister and brother-in-law back home in London via Skype (hi guys!). Truth be told, with the time difference it's more like game afternoon, but that doesn't quite have the same ring to it!! Whatever you call it, it has been a great success. We have adult time first, a chance to chat, let off steam to understanding ears and compare the effects of the pandemic between London & Ontario. Before the conversation gets too depressing the kids join us to play games. Whether it be charades or a general knowledge quiz it has been a great success. Much more than I had anticipated. We have 3 kids, a pre-teen and two young teenagers and they all look forward to it. 3 for 3, No mean feet when dealing with teenagers lol!! This is working for my family, maybe it will work for you?

Stay sane, connect with your friends and family for a chat and a game.It really is uplifting and a lot more fun than cleaning the house or reorganizing cupboards!
WHAT DO YOU DO?
