  1. I AM A BALLET DANCER

  2. Meet Rachael, she is 15 yrs. Old and a freshman at Deerfield High School

  3. I have been a ballerina since I was 3 yrs. Old. Yet one day everything changed … Ballet wasn’t just a hobby and a beautiful talent that will take years to perfect - it was also a science.

  4. It all took place in this simple looking science classroom with this simple looking physics teacher. Listen in as the conversation takes place!

  5. No, silly Blue, not that thinking chair!! The other one, in the classroom. Well, its not really a thinking chair considering my test scores. But anyway… WHAT COULD I DO MY PHYSICS PROJECT ON?

  6. Newton’s Third Law Newton’s Third Law States that for every action there is an equal of opposite reaction. Ex: Every time a dancer does a turn, a plie, pushed off the ground during a jump or a traveling move, or anything in a releve, not only is the dancer pushing against the floor but the floor is pushing back on to the dancers feet.

  7. http://www.abt.org/education/library.asp Show: Arabesque Balance Pas De chat These people are pro’s so don’t try this at home!

  8. Elizabeth Taylor (my dog) is often the best audience member of mine. Considering she doesn’t get up very much and sleeps a majority of my dancing.

  9. Leaping~ Its physics!!!

  10. My Data Table # of times Time in Sec. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 04.1 04.3 03.3 03.3 03.3 03.6 04.1 04.7 03.2 03.3 Notice how I got 03.3 seconds the most times!

  11. So, if my family room is 262 inches long that means it is 6.65 meters long. This means that my velocity math would look a little something like this: Distance: 6.65 meters Time: 03.3 seconds Velocity: ??? V= d/t V= 6.65 meters / 03.3 seconds = 2.01 mps Meaning that as I am leaping in a space of 6.65 meters I am traveling 2.01 meters per second.

  12. (OFTEN)

  13. Perfect, as always!

  14. This is the part where everyone claps cause this was the true life of a ballet dancer!
