Virginia,

I agree that coining the name was a brilliant imaginative stroke, since
it does in fact remind one of a common hand position used by dancers.

I believe it was coined from the two names of co-workers Sarah Danner and
Dr. Edward Cerutti, and I have seen it written in some older ('70's?)
reference, perhaps in one of her original leaflets on Nursing your
[Premature, Neurologically Handicapped, etc, etc,] Baby, as DanCer hand
position.

(I had the pleasure of meeting with them and learning of their pioneering
work in Cleveland several times in the mid '70's when they were
originally devising the Hobbit shields.)
