Lindy Hop and Charleston Routine about phosducin for "Dance Your PhD 2009"

[AboS7m]

i guess they didnt win cuz they suck

[mphello]

As entertaining as this is, this is colossally the DUMBEST idea for a dance contest, as dancing conveys NO information as to what is related in the people's theses.

Yes: I read all the notes above and how it relates to the dancing. The PhD research is AWESOME. But, no one would be able to know what the dancing represents WITHOUT reading the notes!

The main objection: where are poor PhD students or post-PhDers supposed to get dancers?

[mphello]

I fail to see the dancers perform post-RNA-transcriptional methylation. :) :)

[veggieboy321]

added to my favorites, love your light and breezy style.

for the record - how the heck does this get a dislike? someone please explain.

[grizabella626]

*thunderous applause*

[TidaleINK]

Everytime i watch this it makes me wanna learn the Lindy Hop :D

Im Now gonna learn it so i can be as good as you two

[veronicachic]

[MakeMeAChannel]

You make me want to understand phosducin. How does this routine illustrate phosducin's structure and interactions?

ROFL I think I'll hand in a dance routine to my metaphysics prof, just to mess him up.

[Grannyslittlegirl]

Wow, this is amazing! I love how it was perfectly timed, all the pauses and everything. Its lots of fun to watch :D

[IAmWhil]

So when I tell my friends I do swing dance and they ask "what's that?" this is what I show them. You guys put together a really fun dance. Good job!

[JahariAluvis]

I'm amazed at how loose your Charleston is. Where did you learn that style?

[2631833]

In the meantime I watched it like 50 times and it's still fantastic.

You guys SWING!!!!!!!

I wish I could dance like you....

[2631833]

and the song is "Them There Eyes" sung by the one and only Ella Fitzgerald.

[Diotima012]

[donatskitchen]

And so.... how did the experement/project work out. Did it work for the phd? I love it!!

[armatey007]

She's got her own lab at Harvard now... so it probably worked out.

[Triggerly]

you guys are so light on your feet! Love this routine!

[Triggerly]

I came across this video about 3 or 4 months ago and could'nt remember the title or how i found it. This time I'm going to put it on "favorites". So I can't watch it about 250 more times. "Just love it" !

[22karlyn22]

omg what's the song called?! it's so awesome!!! and so is the dancing btw hahaha =D

[KateScriptWriter]

Them There Eyes by Billie Holiday (Someone else sung it I believe.)

[cornelianut21]

interesting choreography i really like how you interact with the music

[07761223592]

[richardwild76]

That looked like so much fun.

[SistemaKaoso]

Lol. This is brilliant!

[minglho]

This is great! I will have to share it with my biology faculty.

[woldewhosonolden]

That is just soooo cool. FANTASTIC dancing.

[junton1]

lol at first I thought Phd ~ title was referring to some kind of dance documentary, than read the info and first went wtfff, then re-read it and really appreciated what you guys did here.

loved the dance/solo. hopefully I'll be as good soon!

[DigitalSemaphore]

Magnificent. So absolutely refreshing to watch.

[halcyonflyer]

This may be one of the most creative uses of Lindy I have ever seen. What a great idea!

[dwightroark]

This may be the nerdiest thing I have ever seen. FANTASTIC! And the best part is, you guys are pretty fabulous swing dancers.

[bananaslushy]

ya'll just have too much fun :0)

'twas very well done!

[vintumer]

This video has popped into my mind so many times since first viewing it, that I had to post a comment. I think it's absolutely delightful and fun and whimsical! You have worked so hard on this and succeeded to give me and so many other viewers three minutes of magic! Congratuations and well done!

[wordman]

You freaking ROCK! This is definitely one of the most inventive applications of Swing that I've ever seen in my life!

[beadtific]

Y'all are *awesome.* And you make it look incredibly light (pun intended) and easy.

[jmanj39]

Being a Boston area dancer I've had the privilege of seeing the two of you perform at a number of functions. You guys are very entertaining, always a joy to watch!

[captinkirkstartrek]

Thanks for the Info.

[captinkirkstartrek]

Does anyone know who is singing this version of Them There Eyes?

[geniehop]

This one is by Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald, and it on the "Ella and Basie!" Album. We sped it up significantly, and it was cut too.

[hkftb]

Fabulous!

[eforlerer]

Wonderful, phosphorilation is a mass

[panovoyant]

What a charming and witty routine! Thanks for sharing it.

[fleep513]

Most excellent video about a PhD thesis I've ever watched. Fabulous!

[rikomatic]

OMG, so cute... and informative!

[Seab1rd11]
