Circumstances: “I began to take two dance classes a week at the same time that I started to work on my thesis for my Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology.

Xavier Le Roy holds a doctorate in molecular biology from the University of Montpellier, France, and has worked as a dancer and choreographer since 1991.
