Hello Marije. Sorry that it took me some time to respond. Thank you for the ideas/suggestions.

A short blurb- Developments in Dance vary from location to location, and unlike other media arts, there is yet to be a unified global or subcultures in dance. I wont get into details regarding reasons here. however, the 21st century dancer increasingly finds this situation rather limiting and with the very nature of dance being a ³multidisciplinary² artform and with a strong history of developments in it in the past, including the ³body² having served as a tool/trigger/platform for experiments in other media arts, new dance generations are looking for tools, besides the kinesthetic body, to further extend their own capabilities. So the ³Dance² aspect in Puredyne will be a collection of ³tools for Dancers² [ hence the selection of ³user friendly² gui based apps as opposed to coding etc etc] who now will have access to set of tools that they have never had in the past and Puredyne can provide that. In regards to opening up opportunities in OSD for those in other media arts, the collaboration choices will be at the discretion of the participants [dancers] in OSD. However, with Puredyne serving as the ³Operating System² in dance, the dance world will be drawn into the Puredyne world, and in turn, I can see numerous opportunities/relationships arising out of that shared global environment. Thank you again Marije for the suggestions. Greatly appreciate the help.
