Ethnography / dancing ideas

Ethnography
I think that for an ethnography, they can study how people who have differing ideas from the majority in a forum (a liberal posting in a far right wing forum) are treated in their posts. For example, in a thread, see how quickly minority opinions are answered with hateful remarks. This is very similar to a project that Sarah and I did in the CHI class a few years ago.

Salsa Dancing
Other than having a similar idea to TIKL, where students learn the correct moves by having vibrotactile sensors vibrate when they move off beat or not closely match the teacher's movement, I don't really see how teaching students how to dance can be improved by a haptic device.
