This project examines the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on amateur ballet dancers' experience. As London went into lockdown in spring 2020, classes and rehearsals moved online. Dancers had to get creative in setting up home rehearsal spaces using counter tops and chairs in place of ballet barres. As lockdowns eased in 2021, ballet companies returned to studios for training and rehearsals. Local studios opened with many retaining online or hybrid classes to accommodate restricted capacity, or preferences of some dancers to remain at home. This project compares the experience of at-home training and in-studio training to explore the question of how the sense of touch and hearing changed the way ballet dancers experienced classes during the pandemic. Through this ethnography I demonstrate that, apart from technological and logistical differences, there is a unique sensorial difference experienced by dancers.
