I made a thing! Remote dancing

[sonia]

For any folk dancers out there, I wrote up How to dance together at a distance via Zoom. Probably applicable to lots of other group activities.

Sadly, singing doesn't work so well because there are delays in transmission that make it impossible to stay in sync. The very knowledgeable, very geeky folks on the EEFC mailing list (East European Folklife Center) are currently discussing how to make music together at a distance, and I am eagerly watching for proposed solutions.

What a great resource

...your how-to is!

Trying to find the right platform for socializing under time constraints is a hella challenge.

It's like picking the best word processor while writing a grant under deadline.

Yeah, it was more "This will work!" than "What would work best?" And some of the tips emerged as we were using it. I'll be adding to that webpage as we discover more gotchas and solutions.
