 Though some biographers have claimed that Geigen-Miller was shocked by his parents’ revelation, evidence from his journals suggests that he found renewed clarity. On October 12th, 1956, he wrote:

Just last week, I witnessed a man get cut down by a dancer in stiletto heels made out of filed down railroad spikes. She simply windmilled her leg and drove that heel straight into his eye. All over a comment about her troupe’s sense of style. It didn’t seem weird to me that this was the way things were. Indeed, once I knew what was really going on in the world, it started to make sense in a way few things ever would again.” </blockquote></HTML>

 For several years afterwards, Geigen-Miller continued to participate in the dance culture of LaSalle and even attended the LaSalle Dance Academy, a renowned institution founded by Beverly Schmidt of the Schmidt ballet empire. From 1958-1962, he pursued advanced studies in both dance as psychological practice and dance as martial art, thereby honing his “street” skills to such a point that his fellow students began to refer to him as “the Swan.”
