On today's episode, Victoria and E'van from ACSci's Dance Theatre share their passion for dancing. They tell us about how dance is not just a mere hobby to pass the time, but also a constant labor of love entailing much work and effort as a craft. It is an avenue not only for self-expression, but also a way of relaxing and calming down in these difficult times. Dancing in this time of social distancing may be a lot different, but it is not any less meaningful and enjoyable. In "It Takes Two to Tango," we hear personal stories of their lives as performers both onstage and backstage, and what it means to transition to an entirely new stage: social media.
