Any other dance/science freaks out there?

Post Reply New Topic

Usually when I mention science to other dancers, they look at me like I'm . . . . yeah. And I used to be a dance major, which made for some amusing times in the upper devision tracked science classes I took for fun.

Just wondering if any of y'all share my peculiarity. . .

I dance & I have a science degree...

I have a terminal degree in physical chemistry and was president of a performing dance company for years.

Science, yes. I was red hot at chemistry at school and I have a degree in Applied Mathematics.

Dancing, no. Never, not a chance. Like a lot of AS sufferers I'm naturally clumsy and I couldn't dance if my life depended on it. Hell, they threw me out of the Army Cadets at school because I couldn't even march in time ! !

Holy crap, Kit. You're my new hero. Are you still involved in dance at all?

Thanks Jainaday, (gosh I don't know about this hero biz???). Since I sailed to Florida from Seattle I only have time to do some advising when I'm not traveling on my boat. I was heavily involved with production. We produced Lyrical, Modern, Jazz and of course Modern and Classical Ballet, some Ballinchine. I also produced liturgical dance which I marketed to churches and Yuppie (as in Microsoft $$$) weddings. This was our biggest source of money. My company was about 40 girls (13-30yo) including apprentices.
When I took over the company the girls were running car washes to get $100; when I left they were dancing at the Crystal Cathedral for $10,000; I’m real pleased that I helped them, real pleased.
I love the kinetic-aesthetic genius of dancers, they are flakey, but I love them.
