Abstract
Despite obvious links between many forms of dance and mathematics, the relations between them are rarely discussed In this paper, we explore one connection between dancing and mathematics – braids. The bijection between dance and braiding enables us to kinesthetically teach various concepts in group theory. We describe an interactive workshop wherein the participants gain a stronger understanding of group theory by collaboratively dancing braids.
