When I hear music I have to dance.
Whether I'm walking down the street, working in the office, or hanging out with friends, when I hear music, I can't help but move.
Equally true — I'm a terrible dancer. I'm awkward and I move to the beat in ways that don't look cool to others, so they tell me.

Kate Wallich, the founder of Dance Church, told Business Insider that when in-person classes were canceled, instructors formalized a small quarantine group. The group consists of all the people involved in making the class happen, and they isolate from everyone else outside the group.

They have been staying six feet apart by marking the dance floor with spots for each person.
