Editor’s note: DCist suspended our daily events guides in mid-March. But we’re bringing back weekday and weekend posts with ways to have virtual fun. We’ll be focused specifically on digital offerings from D.C.-area artists, musicians, fitness instructors, and others. (Want us to know about a virtual event? Submit them here.) And don’t forget about our guide to free movies, audiobooks, art and other offerings from area institutions. 

FRIDAY, APRIL 10 

SALSA AT HOME: If you’re miss dancing on Friday nights with Friday Salsa Bachata DC, join local DJ Renzo for a virtual salsa party. For an hour and a half, participants are invited to leave their stress behind and dance as DJ Renzo spins from his home. Participants are invited to share videos and photos of their virtual dance parties. (8 p.m., FREE)

WE FOUND LOVE: Social distancing making your love life dull? Tinder getting a bit boring? Every Friday night through May, DC Fray is hosting a speed dating night. For $10, you will enjoy a night of FaceTime dates. Don’t worry about not knowing what to say: icebreakers will be provided and social time with others will be available before and after dates. (7 p.m., $10)

YOGA ALL DAY: Many of D.C.’s yoga instructors are out of work with their studios closed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve stopped offering ways to practice. The Yoga Collective has assembled a group of local instructors for daily classes. On Friday, you can practice with four different instructors with classes several times a day with classes ranging from power vinyasa to restorative yoga. Check their Instagram for the daily schedule. (Various times, FREE, but donations for instructors are appreciated)

TELL ME A STORY: Story Collider, a non-profit focused around telling real, personal science stories, will lull you away from your reality into theirs for a story hour on Friday night. This week’s theme is what it means to be human—and un-human. Three storytellers will be speaking and then audience members are invited to tell their own ten-word stories. (7 p.m., FREE but donations appreciated)

SATURDAY, APRIL 11

GARDEN TIME: Close your eyes and imagine you’re in the U.S. Botanic Gardens for its Saturday morning yoga series. With Love Pop Up Yoga, which will be continuing its yoga program virtually every Saturday morning, you can be.

IN THIS HAUS WE DANCE: Sauf Haus Bier Hall & Garden is hosting a “Quarantine Turn-Up” that you can partake in from your home.

MIND BLOCK: You probably thought you’d be so productive while working from home, right? If you are stuck in a rut, join Dragon’s Breath Yoga for a workshop on how to get loose and get your creative juices flowing.

SUNDAY, APRIL 12

HEALING THROUGH POETRY: Busboys & Poets is keeping its weekly “Keep The Mic On” poetry series going. This week host Charity Joyce Blackwell will be welcoming Asha Santee.

The Zoom session will consist of a performance, an interview with the artist, an audience Q&A and, if time allows, an open mic. (7 p.m., FREE)

IT’S A DRAW: Play a virtual game of Pictionary with ThingsToDoDC to become the drawing champion. The game will consist of several rounds on Zoom with six to eight competitors drawing it out. The ultimate champions will face-off in a final drawing competition. Bring your sharpest pencil. (8 p.m., $10)

TIME WARP: Get out of 2020, perm your hair, don a power suit and party with 18th and U Duplex Diner for it’s Sunday Quaran-Tea 80’s edition dance party.
