Subject: sports bio

Hi, I'm Kimmie Dobbs. I am a transfer student from New York University, where I spent two years putting together a concentration in mind-body health. I am now a kinesiology major here, and working as a physical therapy aide. I must say that my relationship with sports has been an alternative one. I have worked professionally as both a dancer/performer and a dance teacher/choreographer. I am also a pilates instructor. I have participated leisurely with martial arts (recently) and gymnastics (as a kid). I have also enjoyed being a passive spectator of ice skating and gymnastics events. I think the closest I have gotten to participating in anything traditional was to football, when I peformed at a Redskins' halftime show (haha...joke). Anywho, most of the passion, and teamwork, training, and dedication that is found in traditional sports is also found in dance, and in this way I can relate... this is, briefly, how the 6 E's are related to dance in my life: excitement- definitely, especially performances, competitions, etc; education- dance has taught me about discipline and work ethic; entertainment- unfortunately, dance as entertainment is mixed in with it's economic value... being paid to peform 8 shows per week doesn't make it any easier; exercise- for sure! Anywho, nice to meet you all, and thanks for listening to my speil.
