HOW TO PREPARE FOR ZOOM CLASS
Hernan is double watching the correctness of your exercises. On two computers and in the mirror so he can adjust exercises to your speed and abilities and give you the corrections if necessary.
Just so you can see Hernan’s super convoluted zoom setup…. there is more ‘stuff’ - just didn’t fit in one frame…
1. Make sure you have clothes on.
2. Make sure you have a camera - if we cannot see you - we cannot offer feedback.
3. Clear out some floor space - that's where you will be dancing.
4. Now the most tricky one - where your computer shall be...
If your room is long and you have some distance - you computer shall be on the floor or close to it and couple of feet away from where you will be dancing. Low table is fine. Chair is fine. That's for the 'you dancing part'. For the part when you watching the demo or listening to the instructions or feedback - you need to be able to see the screen - so if the computer is on the floor - get a mat or a pillow in front of it so you can sit while you are watching and listening.
If you are tech savvy and know how to connect your computer to your TV screen - that's an excellent idea.
If you have very little space - you can place the compute higher and point the camera down - we will see you 'from the top down', but we will be able to see 'the whole you'
5. Sound wise...
Hernan came up with quite an excellent system and so we can play the music while you dancing and the sound is only minimally distorted. If at all possible we recommend connected your computer to the speaker so the sound is as close to normal as possible.
NOW - IF ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR PHONE - GO FOR IT. BETTER SOMETHING THAN NOTHING AT ALL!
If you need any advice - please email us and we will help you. Now we cannot help you while we are teaching the lesson - so please email a day or two before.
ZOOM-RECORDED CLASSES
PRE-RECORDED CLASSES
We had initially pre-recorded 2 sessions of exercises and since some of you like to work with youtube videos rather than ‘live’ - here they are.
To prevent COVID-19 spread Ultimate Tango School of Dance is currently conducting all the group activities on-line. Do your usual warm-up exercises with Hernan!
