Wichita, Jan 26: Boeing engineer Jared Rodgers has his eye on belly dancers. But it's not what you might think. Rodgers is applying his knowledge of vibration and material design to creating costumes for belly dancers.
It all started four years ago when his wife started taking belly dancing classes. Soon, the Wichita, Kansas, engineer was making costumes for her classmates, too.
Rodgers says engineering and costume design aren't that far apart. Rodgers notes the costumes have to stay on and provide support, yet still be able to shimmy and sway.
He still has his day job at Boeing, but is branching out a little, too. Now, he's also designing bridal gowns and wedding cakes.
