Cisco Telepresence for dance practice

What are the top uses for video conferencing? Long distance business meetings, project management, sales, you know... the usual. Turns out that there is another application as well, dance practice!

Engadget reports "Young dancers in Shanghai and New York are currently training hard in order to perform in "The Red Thread"" using Cisco Telepresence. The press release however sums up nicely the value of a Cisco Telepresence solution:

"Just as National Dance Institute uses dance to bridge together diverse cultures, so Cisco is using technology to bridge time, geographic and cultural distances. With technologies like Cisco TelePresence, we are elevating creativity and collaboration to the next level, changing the way people communicate and learn," said Anthony Elvey, Pavilion Director, Cisco. "That is precisely the theme of the Cisco Pavilion at World Expo: how technology can enhance your life. One day, people will be using high-definition video to communicate as easily as they do with the telephone today. This is Cisco's vision of the smart connected life."
