PS My noodle dance concept is 100% in jest!  It's so ridiculous to even imagine it, plus it would be resource-intensive (the world does not need more foam swimming noodles, in my opinion), plus, as someone pointed out, it wouldn't at all solve the problem of transmission via airborne droplets unless everyone wore masks.  It does give some really fun mental images (color coordinated masks and noodles?) But just wanted to make that clear!  We will NOT be doing noodle dances in Belfast anytime soon!

Mostly I am just diverting my over-busy mind from fretting about terrible things I can't control. (For example, I just learned moments ago that the several of the residents and staff at a local Assisted Living Center and Nursing Home, where I've led music and dance sessions, have been diagnosed with Covid-19, which is truly terrible news.) 

With loving thoughts to all,

And I, personally, am refining a concept suggested by one of those same neighbors, of dancing with foam swimming noodles as arm-extenders (glue a glove onto the end of each noodle).  That way everyone can "connect" with the noodles instead of hands, maintaining a greater-than-six-feet distance from one's fellow dancers.  Can't you picture the stars and circles and allemandes?  I admit, it needs work.  But it gives me pleasure to imagine it.
