Taoufik Nadji ::

My excitement, fervor and love of physics is obvious. This establishes a reciprocal appreciation from my students. They realize that my love for my subject is the same as their emotions and passion toward their own art. And when I connect physics to the students’ respective art, it creates excitement by adding a new dimension to what they already know so well.

Physics allows my students to appreciate the intricacies of the art they are practicing and offers them additional tools to fine-tune their performances. For instance, dancers who understand certain key concepts of physics grasp how these determine and control many of their movements. They can be more effective dancers than those who do not understand these ideas.
