You do? In what spheres? Of course I could just be stoopid.
I knew it. Cole Porter wrote a song called “Queens of Terpsichore.”
I’ll proudly stick my hand up and admit total ignorance 
Posting without reading thread so I don’t cheat: yes. Terpsichore was the muse of dance, so it means, uh, dancey.
Yes, I know what it means, and I know that it derives from the name of the muse of dance, but now that I’m thinking about it, I don’t know when I learned that. Hmmm …
Between this and your user name, you’re about Richard Simmons gay.
I think I should work on a gay scale, kind of like the Richter scale but based on people. I’m thinking John Wayne and Freddie Mercury as being the two ends of the scale.
Put me in the group that thought music rather than dance–and didn’t know the muse connection off-hand.
Always takes me a few seconds–“That’s, uh, from one of the muses, not one I care a whole lot about, let’s see, what art form don’t I pay a lot of attention to?–oh, yeah, Dance. It’s Dance! It’s definitely Dance.”
You all are just piling the dumb on me. I thought it had something to do with reptiles, or turtles.
Yep, I knew that one. Not a really useful word, but I picked it up somewhere.
Yes, I knew it. You can’t spend a lifetime as a band and choir geek without coming across the term.
Or a Monty Python freak.
Room for one more in the dunce corner, Boyo? I had no idea at all, even as a former choir geek.
Ehm Terpsichore is one of the muses, terpsichorean would be “related to whatever art she is the muse of”. Dance?
Yay me!
Boyo Jim, given that apparently Freddie batted both ways, maybe it should be Boy George.
Doesn’t it refer to this guy?
Everything I have learned comes from Monty Python.
Yes, and without any help from Monty Python. (One of my favorite books as a kid was D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Mythology.)
Without reading the spoiler or any other posts–wasn’t Terpsichore the Muse of Dancing?
Anyway–Terpsichorean means “related to dancing.”
I was going to ask the same question. Related question, what would said “terpsichorean harmonies” be? Terpsichorean rhythms makes sense to me, but dancing harmonies?
