Upon the convergence of the twin epidemics of COVID-19 and racial injustice in 2020, the Delaware Dance Education Organization (DDEO) responded by creating and presenting interactive professional development webinars that ranged from sharing how dance history is a microcosm of the world to the impact culture has on personal behaviors. Through the lens of public scholarship, the virtual programming format allowed DDEO to reach dance populations in Delaware and beyond. Groundswell, a series of four webinars presented a consideration of the impact racism has in the dance world. Solos@Home invited participants to create, share, and virtually perform dance works based on material presented in Groundswell. Solos@Home II continued in this modality highlighting the theme of environmental justice. The value of activism was a key enduring understanding for these projects. DDEO continues to support and advance dance education while listening and responding to the immediate needs of the community.
