Dancing Euclidean Proofs

I appreciated the creator's comment on how dancing through the proofs helps the participant understand the process step-by-step as opposed to looking at a completed proof. I think that doing something physically makes it easier to remember and I was reflecting on how I had to memorize so many proofs for my geometry class but if I had worked through them in an embodied way, it would have been easier to remember them. 

"As we embody mathematical entities, the dance becomes symbolic of mathematics as humanity and humanity as mathematics." This quote stood out to me in the article because I like the idea of mathematics being connected to human history and something that every person can participate in. In the other video we watched about Labyrinths there were testimonies from a couple participants who said they had a lot of fear around Math but doing something embodied opening their mind to the idea that Math could be accessible and enjoyable. 

I think including embodied practice is a fantastic idea in a Math classroom. I was thinking that even counting on our fingers is an embodied tool many students use - but there's actually some prejudice against it sometimes! I think with high school students it would take a little bit of work to get their buy-in as they may be concerned about what their peers think or about looking silly. Another obstacle is that it takes time/money - especially if you want to take a class on a trip to the beach for example. Also, it would be important to make sure it was accessible to all students.
