A dancer focused on anatomy! ah yeah! | There's a public school modern dance session with a smart, perceptive teacher. She comes in Sundays and I sat in on a dance class with her.

turning this into a free PR event for a Palo Alto start-up... I've seen this happen a lot. They show up, try to co-opt the excitement, promote their "fitness" start-up, then vanish later on like a bad one-night stand.
