An interview with the dancer: Mina Nishimura. Bonus: use of the word terpsichorean.
new word for me.
Without context, I would have guessed something about turtles. Naïvely, at that (at UoMD, "terp" is just a contraction for terrapin and has nothing to do with Greek or Latin roots).

Amazing.
Wait . . . Sia has a connection to Shia LaBeouf?
