THE PHYSICS OF BALLET
What do physics and ballet have in common? A LOT! Physicist Tonya Triplett and dancer Becky Erickson team to offer an exciting learning experience of the interplay of science and dance that illustrates the beautiful complexity of each.

Ballet, they say, is physics in motion. Every movement – extension, leap and spin – relies directly on mechanical laws, force distribution and momentum. Tonya and Becky will take us step-by-step through a journey that demystifies the physical forces of a beloved artform.

And – as they explain these principles – we’ll have an opportunity to explore, through simple movement, the wonders of physical forces that make breathtaking art possible.

The Eccles Science Learning Center (ESLC) is located on USU's Logan campus, south of the Taggart Student Center and north of Old Main. ESLC map = https://www.usu.edu/map/index.cfm?id=15
