Members of the Alison Cook Beatty Dance Company have been rehearsing on baseball diamonds. Artistic Director Cook Beatty says she knew her traditional rehearsal space wouldn’t work during the pandemic so at first the dancers worked on choreography over Zoom. But while on a jog one day, by a baseball field, she realized the baseball diamond would be the perfect place for a social distant rehearsal. You may have seen them on fields in Central Park. “I feel like we were able to connect with a lot of the community, people who walk by and clap for them. And people need the arts,” said Cook Beatty. She will continue to hold rehearsals and performances outside on the fields as long as the weather holds up. The dance company has a virtual show coming up for more information visit AlisonCookBeattyDance.org.
