Ballet Dancers Perform Moving Piece in Streets Emptied by Coronavirus Lockdown

Like much of the world, the coronavirus pandemic has pressed pause on Yvonne Slingerland’s dance career. The ballerina, who performs with the Dutch National Ballet, has been stuck at home for months, separated from her friends and colleagues. So Yvonne and her fellow dancers took their art to the street to perform their parts of a dance inspired by the pandemic’s lockdown. Video of the dancers will be knit together for a film called “Gently Quiet,” which will be streamed online in May.
