I totally agree. I've met quite a few. The most impressive I've seen at 
puppet movements almost all had dancing backgrounds. They sure know their 
bodies and how to transfer energies.

I wonder if Basil Twist has a dancing background as well?
When I saw him live last spring with his Stickman, I was hynotised by the 
magic his puppet made! In his case, there was no competition for the 
public's attention. Both puppet and puppeteers were of the same act, a 
seamless union such as I've never seen before or since. More than dance 
partners, they almost seemd like a single being inhabiting two bodies at 
once, if that makes sense.
I'll always remember the scene near the end where Stickman takes flight 
slowly, the leg of the puppeteer becoming the means to elevation.
