> Timmy is a kinesthetic learner? He should learn to calculate voltage through dance

I think learning to calculate voltage kinesthetically means that Timmy should use his hands to build a little circuit, and be told or shown how the voltage levels work while he's building the thing.

You would think, but every material I've seen or been taught about learning styles is that hands on is separate from kinesthetic learning. Kinesthetic really is like dancing, hand movements, and other physical mnemonics.

Learning styles™ really are that dumb.
