Hello! My name is Natalia (she/her), I am a senior, and I am from Media, PA. I am a double-major in biology and Russian at Bryn Mawr.

While it is hard to pick just one, one time period I am especially intrigued by is the 1980’s, because of the music, the movies, the fashion, and the dancing. I love all types of dance and movement, especially when it’s paired with upbeat music (like ABBA), and the 80’s really embodied that feel-good and energetic vibe to dancing. With that being said, I find it so fascinating that you can hear a song or see a dance and immediately associate it with a specific time period. Even though I haven’t lived through the 80’s, there is a feeling of nostalgia for something that I have never experienced, which I think is a pretty surreal feeling to have.

Welcome to this class, Natalia. I'm also super interested in the 1980s (although I was born in that era, so experienced it as a kid). In fact, my current research project is about pop music video dance created during that decade. If you're interested in pursuing a research project that focuses on this era, we should chat about possible dance works/events.

I am excited to take this class! That research project sounds really interesting. I am still unsure about what the topic of my research project is going to be, but would love to talk with you and brainstorm some ideas!
