Re: Dancing Euclidean Proofs!

I have always thought of proofs as something very logical and routined and I like that aspect of it a lot. The structure of proofing something has its beauty in the form of clean lines and clear step-by-step procedure. However, dance to me is very soft and indirect. Proofs to me are like the school of Bauhaus in design, it's very logical and clear-minded with very little warmth to it. 

After reading the article, especially after watching the dance itself. I felt the warmth and logical beauty of proof through the dance itself. More accurately, I think the movement of the human body is a piece of art itself. 

I find it's fascinating that we can use our legs and arms to "prove" such complicated proof. The rhythm of the dance mirrors the logical side of the proof, it's planned with thoughts but flows so seemingly. 

For non-math people, it becomes so much easier to understand the basic concept of the proof through the use of our own bodies. 

I was also surprised to realize the natural symmetries of our body which is very mathematical in some ways. In conclusion, I appreciated the fact that they used the form of dance to show the beauty/logical thoughts behind proofs!
