After the onset of Covid-19 and the ensuing shelter in place orders in early 2020, Rhythm & Motion put a great deal of loving energy into finding ways to continue dancing, to stay connected with our community and to further our mission of spreading the joy of dance to everyone. The first step of this evolving journey began with self-made at-home videos of our beloved instructors combined together into free classes shared on our YouTube channel. We produced close to two hundred videos that amassed thousands of views during the first year of shelter in place. We hope you enjoy dancing at home, and would love to see you at one of our in-person or livestream classes.

The pre-recorded classes linked below highlight multiple teachers per video and are recorded in shorter sections to provide greater flexibility. They utilize regular class choreography that can be danced in smaller spaces, and incorporate more breakdowns for dancers to dive deeper into their learning.

“Staying connected was the medicine I needed during the shelter in place and the R&M staff worked so hard to give us this! Genuine, loving, and spirited, the entire R&M family is so special! THANK YOU!”—Shelley Merid, student

“Dancing during covid went beyond the movement of our bodies, it was also the preservation of our souls and spirit to know that things would be ok & get better.”—Tina Moss, student

“4 words. YOU ARE A LIFELINE.”—Jen Greenlee, student

”For the many times I wanted to curl up in the fetal position in response to The World, I also wanted to show up and dance, because all the R&M instructors poured their hearts out making sure we had this space. What an undertaking built on the love of community and dance. I am forever grateful for your efforts and your caring. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”—Jackie Adams, student
