The project is called “Dance Draw.”

UNCC dance students wear wireless computer mice on their chests and wrists to “draw” abstract geometric shapes on a computer screen.

Dance Draw won more than $750,000 in federal stimulus money.

Dance Draw drew fire because of the number of jobs it reportedly created, one and a half.
Dancing stimulus project has critics | NewsChannel 36 | Charlotte News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | WCNC.com | News for Charlotte, NC

but wait, there's more!

Dance Draw won funding not as dance, not an arts grant, but as computer science research through the National Science Foundation.

You know, if that wasn't my money (as a taxpayer), I would simply find this waste funny. But given that it IS my money, I have to ask...Barry, Harry, Nancy, WTF are you thinking? Not that I would have counted on Bushco to be much more responsible with the taxpayer's money.
