Hi Cynthia and all,

if you want to specifically see tech + ballet, you should check out the
Georgia Tech project at

http://www.oip.gatech.edu/mmtlprojects/dance.html

They have had David Parsons down once (twice?) to choreograph using their
system, which is an advanced form of real-time motion capture.

In terms of dance technique, the LaserDisc stuff I mentioned in my

homepage with contact info at
