Braiding Through Time -- a dance film

How can you record a dance?
By thinking of dancers as points in a two-dimensional plane, we can begin to answer this question. We use dance as an entry point to learn about the configuration space of points in the plane and its fundamental group.

It reminded me of the maypole dance (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maypole) A nice example can be seen in The Wicker Man : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYqvg4Wom7V9Z9U Or in The Safety Dance by Men without hats (1:37) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6HCc6mXfdiafck Now I'd be curious to see their paths in the space configuration! Thanks for those two videos! And the links you made with crochet on other ones! I'm a big fan!! :) And also of Kiya Tabassian!
