JMU DNA Primer: Another Epic on the Cellular Level

Rarely is there an opportunity to participate in a molecular happening. Enjoy the official HD version of the James Madison University DNA Dance featuring Dr. Carol Hurney and the entire 2010 JMU Freshman class.

---

Take 4,000 freshmen, 280 orientation leaders, two strands of DNA and one Quad, add a liberal dose of dance moves, courtesy of the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, and you get an "epic" experience! JMU's first-year students celebrated the beginning of their Madison Experience with a unique collaboration of science and the arts. They expressed their thoughts and reactions to "The DNA Age," a series of articles written by Amy Harmon for The New York Times, to movement in dance on JMU's Quad.
