I'm running across very interesting blends of


This one by Alvin Ailey came up last week, in partial response to the loss of George Floyd:

Hilariously well-done in the first act, in particular.

What online presentations have you found, or been sent?

I'm very impressed by the level of positive transformation enacted by musicians, dancers, and other performers.

Today I spent two hours becoming re-acquainted with friends from several dance venues from around the world here:

It was focused around the fact that the usual international folk dance camp the group sponsors can't be held this year.

So instead, individuals from the past 20 years of the camp's history were invited to share live or taped performances instead, with lots of chances for chat comments and a free-for-all chatter at the end that was hilarious (and a bit poignant).

There will be a final link posted of a recording of the whole video, on the same site later on, per the leaders.

The site had 150+ participants from Bulgaria, Turkey, California, France, Italy, the US. East Coast, Asia, and Africa.

Putting our energies towards appreciation and enjoyment of each others' cultural offerings heals many dysfunctions, I believe.
