Live Dance Centre is Struggling to Keep its Doors Open

A lot of people are missing going out with their friends and gathering together to spend time with them. But with Covid 19 it’s been limiting us to do those things. We can't travel or even play sports together. With the L.I.V.E dance crew and studio, they can't do anything at all. Angel Advincula the founder, director and studio of the LIVE dance crew has to follow the Covid 19 restrictions. He usually has like 40 people practising but he had to limit the studio space to 10 people. They would have weekly practices to get ready to compete in an upcoming dance competition. They also hold dance classes so people can improve on their dance skills or learn new dance styles They represent Canada in the Hip Hop International every year but they can't do it anymore cause of the travel restrictions. It’s hard to keep the doors open for the LIVE dance studio if no one can't take classes cause of Covid and it’s their only source of income to keep the studio open. So they have to resort to teaching online classes. Many people have quit the dance team because they’re not competing or even practice.
