Teaching Ballet from Home

When COVID-19 sent Princeton students, faculty, and staff packing, dance instructors opened up their homes and kitchens (virtually).

Working from home means different things to different people. For Kathleen Moore Tovar, Instructor in Ballet at Princeton University, it means how to use her home to teach co-curricular dance courses remotely. Tovar found her kitchen offered the best space for an impromptu studio and her countertop provided an excellent substitute for a barre.  

Tovar's dogs are frequent visitors to her dance class which she conducts live over Zoom utilizing her laptop.
