I wonder if you could post a precise reference for "stooped." In Logic of 
Practice, page 72 of Richard Nice's translation, Bourdieu links the 
opposition of the straight and the bent to gender; do you have another 
reference of the same type? 

Also, re. Bourdieu and dance, I wrote a short paper using Bourdieu's 
ideas about how our understanding of practice is effected by the mode of 
representation of practice, specifically to talk about Rudolf Laban's 
dance notation ("Labanotation"). Dance is, I think, a very good area for 
making use of Bourdieu.
