There may be few places to go, but there certainly are many places to visit online, that is as stay-at-home entertainment choices continue to populate the internet.

BYOC -- brandish your own castanets.

Declaring we will not be beaten by a bug, the Woodbridge-based Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre has moved what would ordinarily be its annual spring outdoor park concert to the internet.

Feria de Sevilla will be live-streamed on YouTube 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 14. The event is free but donations are welcomed.

The program originally was scheduled to take place at Parker Press Park in Woodbridge. The troupe also has had to postpone its March fundraiser gala to Oct. 18 at Ria Mar in South River.

Meanwhile, the dance groups website proclaims Life, here at Alborada, goes on regardless, and has posted a series of photo collages showing troupe members making dresses and rehearsing, as well as using some of the sewing time to make masks for area hospital workers.
