Deconstructing Dance: My Prototype

Okay, so for my prototype, I've been playing with the idea that knowing more about a subject can help you find more awe in your experience with that subject. Does knowing more about something increase the level of awe? Or does it take away from the spectacle and illusion of the subject?
I've decided to focus my efforts on Ballet, since that's the form of dance that I know the most about, and hopefully my knowledge will allow you to experience more awe when you watch this segment at the end of this prototype.

Just follow the links! (also, most of the webcam videos are truly terrible quality, but you can see my face and hear me, so just know that the quality would be much better on the finished product)
