Description
Have you ever wondered how a couple of theoretical physicists might go about communicating their love of square dancing to their colleagues? Well, by explaining some of the underlying mathematical structures of MWSD of course!

Karin Rabe and Greg Moore are a married couple who teach at Rutgers University. They took up square dancing as a hobby a few years ago and quickly became serious enough about it to learn to call. Their enthusiasm is infectious and they wanted to explain their new pastime in a way their colleagues would find appealing - by relating it to mathematics. But even if you're not a math virtuoso you'll enjoy this enthusiastic and entertaining 1-1/2 hour presentation by Karin and Greg to an audience at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
