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.]]> 2019-02-05 02:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/327606696 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/327610670 2019-02-05 02:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/327610670 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/327617996 2019-02-05 03:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/327617996 tony_cobarrubia38 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/327625600 My name is Antonio Cobarrubia, and I'm currently a 4th year undergrad student seeking Bachelors of Science in Physics. I'm currently researching virus diffusion through mucus with Professor Luque, which inspired me to take  polymer physics. I believe the class will be a great to further my understanding of mucus mechanics and composition. After attending the first meeting, I look forward to see how our class and the dance class is able to explain polymer concepts through dance.

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. ]]> 2019-02-08 00:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/329033260 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/332438708 2019-02-18 19:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/332438708 emilycaplan1 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/351847257 2019-04-16 01:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/351847257 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/352615240 2019-04-18 16:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/352615240 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/352958089 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.]]> 2019-04-22 00:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/352958089 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/352981134 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 . ]]> 2019-04-22 03:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/352981134 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/353253174 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.]]> 2019-04-23 05:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/353253174 jackiezdancer123 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/353600976 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. ]]> 2019-04-24 03:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/353600976 https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/353609451 My name is Arianna Cruz & I am a second year at SDSU.

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).]]> 2019-05-06 21:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/h9zr43kt1dxd/wish/357390601
