I am a chemistry student here at SDSU. I am have never been in a formal dance class and hope this experience will be a good one. I hope to be able to be more comfortable dancing even though I have no talent in that particular field whatsoever. My first impression of the dance collaboration was a good one, with me being excited to see the dancers moving around before class started, I thought to myself, can I learn that here? (I wanted to learn some of the moves they were preforming).

I am Jon Parsons, a first year master's student in the Computational Science Research Center. I am primarily interested in computational modeling of materials and systems.

As a kinematic learner, I believe that the dance collaboration will help create a better intuitive understanding through visualization as well as walking through the concepts with students of a very different background.

My name is Arianna Cruz & I am a second year at SDSU. I am a dance major and journalism minor. I'm excited about this class because last year I had a great year doing this and am looking forward to work with new people on this idea of physics and dance. With a much better understanding of the process I feel like I will be able to create a much better dance than I did last year.

My name is Jacqueline Zogas & I am a second year at SDSU. I am a dance major & marketing minor at SDSU. I am excited to participate in this class with the physics students for a second year in a row. Last year was more of an introduction to the collaboration, but this year I have a much better understanding & knowledge of the task at hand. I found last year to be very interesting & a great learning experience for all of us. I am eager to get back into it this year and learn more about how dance & physics relates to one another.

My name is Alex Thompson, and I am a dance major! I began dancing when I was three and haven't stopped since. I have trained extensively in ballet, jazz, contemporary, and hip hop throughout the years. I plan on double majoring with Dance and Math in my time at SDSU, and I am also a part of the Honors College minor. I'm excited for this collaboration because I have actually done something similar, combining dance and physics. My freshman year of high school, I was able to choreograph a dance solo for my Physics final, and talk about how physics is essential in dancing. I'm excited to learn how the two areas of study can actually work together despite being very different on a surface level.

My name is Aubrey Jensen, and I am a third year transfer Dance major. I started dance as a toddler and grew up training in a variety of styles including ballet, contemporary, tap and hip hop. I am excited to find new ways of creating choreography and looking at dance from a different perspective. Collaborating with the science department will do just that and also challenge myself to team up with individuals educated in subjects I am not completely comfortable with. I think the combination of two polar opposite departments will push us out of our comfort zones and encourage us to blend our talents .

I started dance as just a tap dancer at the age of six and I started all other genres at the age of 13 leading me to choreography. Choreographing has been my passion ever sense I self taught myself contemporary dance and adopted my own style and voice over time. My initial impression of the dance collaboration with the physics class is skeptical due to the fact that I have not collaborated with a science related individual when collaborating for a dance project or choreography project. However, it should be interesting to see the product of the process as well as the process itself when working with the physics majors.

My name is Marco Polo Gonzalez, and i am a fourth/fifth year physics major. I am interested in learning more about polymers after taking a condensed matter physics course and learning about crystaline structures and bonds. Out of this class i am hoping to learn to approach this science-y topic from a new perspective with the help of the dance collaboration. My initial impression was that this could help to demonstrate real life physical properties that we dont always notice, and transcribe them to physical movements that we are able to easily display.

Hello, my name is Sierra Paris andI am a second year dance minor and kinesiology major.  I have been dancing since I was 3 years old and have known I wanted to dance for the rest of my life since I was really6 little.  I aspire to be a studio owner and dance teacher.  I thought my first dance class at 11 years old and have been hooked ever since.  This class I really hope to get a new perspective on choreography but also I enjoy collaboration between the two fields I am studying, arts and science.  Im interested to see how my study of the internal body can be reflected in the outward body movement.

My name is Waltteri Vakki, I am a chemist and have an interest in material science and material chemistry. I am also a blacksmith, and there is an incredible amount of overlap in my science and art, which I find enriching. I would like to get a fundamental and applicable understanding of polymers, their properties, synthesis and optimization. I found the dance portion of this class to be an interesting addition, and await to see what follows from it.

My name is Cara Walten. I am a third year chemistry major. I am interested in  green chemistry which is a field of chemistry that is focused on finding scientific solutions to the world's environmental issues. This class will be interesting for me because the science around renewable energies and sustainable living/transportation requires a unique creative perspective. The combination of science with dance is one way we can explore scientific principles from a new point of view.

My name is Ariana Pedraza, I am a fourth year Chemistry/Biochemistry student.  I am not very sure about what I want to do after I graduate but most likely would work in the pharmaceutical industry. From this class I hope to create new experiences that would help me be more open minded about how I see and understand science. I am excited too see how science and dance can incorporate into the final dance presentation.

My name is Nancy Pham.This is my four year attending in SDSU.  My life time goal is to improve myself and the standard of living for my child through higher education.  I had always loved the sciences, and I enjoyed this field immensely. I hope to learn dance techniques that I can apply towards my own projects. I also want to become more familiar with dance to connect the science. My initial impression of the dance collaboration is I’ve been stressing a bit ever since about how to unpack everything that happened in the show with my narrow knowledge and understanding of modern dance.

My name is Julz Fernandez and I fully committed my self and my time to my dance career about 2 years ago. All together I have been dancing for about 5 years. What I hope to get out of this class is more tools to put in my creative tool box. I believe to look at things in different perspective can greatly impact new and fresh ideas to come to the surface, so I'm very excited for this collaboration. My initial impression was a little bit of intimidation, but if we all collaborate in ideas and effort to our tasks, I feel a lot of great things can happen!

My name is Lev and I have been dancing since I was 5 years old ranging from classical ballet technique to modern and post modern technique. Some of my aspirations for this project is to delve deeper into the physics of dancing because I have learned a lot about the anatomy of dancing but not the physical concept of it, which I find very intriguing. My first impression was that I felt kind of intimidated because many people in the physics field, or any science field for that matter, are very intelligent.
