    When Chip Morris graduated from University of Wisconsin at Madison with a Pd.D. in mathematics, he might not have imagined that running a youth ballet school would be in his future. “I came to Boston in 1985. I taught math and computer science during weekdays and danced in a theater in Cambridge,” Mr. Morris, artistic director of Commonwealth Ballet, told me during an interview on March 2 at Acton School of Ballet. Students were busy preparing their dance routines for A Little Night Dancing on that evening.
