im doing my eighth grade science project and i thought it would be a great idea (since i dance ballet) to do a project on it. I want it to be the physics of dance/ballet. I need a lot of research and i found a couple but i need more. Is there any good websites about the physics of dance or ballet? Or if people could give me some information about it or on how to do it that would be great. Thanks :)
 
Sounds like a cool project. Good luck with it. Here are a few links to sites. I didn't check them completely out, so hopefully they are actually helpful.

Google is you friend for this project. There is also one book (thought probably more, I just don't know about them) on this. It's called "The Physics of Ballet and The Pas de Deux" by Kenneth Laws. Maybe your local library has a copy.
