Two souls live in the breast of the Altenburg dance teacher Anja Loose. Because on the one hand she understands the new partial lockdown in the fight against the second wave of the Corona-Virus, for example, does not want to unnecessarily endanger the children in their courses. On the other hand, can Loose I don’t understand how, after the meeting of the Chancellor and Prime Minister last Wednesday, each federal state is still cooking its own regulation soup.
The dog is buried in the details and the land Thuringia buried him relatively late. Only since Saturday evening – not even a day before the new rules come into force – all the subtleties have been known. And these have a blatant impact on Anja Losses Life. Because according to her current knowledge on Monday, the pedagogue’s dance room now counts as a leisure activity and therefore has to close for the time being. “I am also a freelance worker at the music school, where I lead children and a ballet course and should now continue to teach there. This is no longer comprehensible to me, because I lack any transparency on the part of politics, ”it shows Loose frustrated talking to the OVZ.
Leisure time or education?
When the dance teacher speaks, there is always a certain amount of frustration. Because while the politicians assign their offer to the so-called leisure activities, see Loose that is a little different: “It’s not as if I just stand in front and let everyone dance. I work with pedagogical methods so that, for example, the children get to know their bodies. ”In addition to body awareness, there is also the perception of the space, the various possible movements in it and the joining of this complex puzzle into a dance. “And if you break it down, almost every leisure activity is in some form of education,” says Loose.
Museums without child education in November
The Natural History Museum Mauritianum is pulling the rip cord not only in view of the new rules, but in principle due to the current infection rate. “We have completely canceled the children’s college for this month”. shares museum director Mike Jessat With. The offer could still be canceled in December. Even if a loophole could be found in the regulation, one could not answer, in the worst case that Virus to be distributed to several schools.
The complete cancellation of the college for the season running until the middle of next year is not on the table yet. “We have to wait and see what it looks like after November,” said so Jessat.
The “Studio Fine Arts” as an offer from the Lindenau Museum also fell victim to the new Corona regulation in November. This includes all planned courses, workshops and open workshops as part of the offer for young people and families.

Nevertheless, she is not concerned with maintaining her own and other offers in the coming weeks. Rather, she wants to emphasize that this form of ambiguity is accompanied by a massive loss of confidence in politics.
But the dance teacher is not only concerned about the big picture, but also specifically about how things will go on with her and her daughter in the coming weeks. Already in spring it fell through most of the aid grids. The reason: Anja Loose is a so-called solo self-employed person with her dance room, but only as a sideline. She earns most of her income at the theater – and at this point it is still unclear whether there will be any money at all in the next few weeks without a permanent job.
“More could have happened”
“I have little hope that anything will change in terms of helping people like me,” says Loose. With her part-time job, she is not qualified for a large part of the assistance, “but nobody asks whether I can even cope with the money from my main job on my own. I am a single parent and have no income for myself and my daughter from a partner that I can count on. “
That until today no lessons have apparently been learned from the spring can Loose don’t understand: “More could have happened on the part of politics. Because it was surely foreseeable that that Virus will not disappear overnight. “
What will the next day bring? She doesn’t know herself yet, is already in contact with the Employment agency and hopes for solutions.
