The Dancing Euclidean Proofs article was extremely interesting article and I found the discussion of the relationship between humanizing mathematics through dance fascinating and the video definitely assisted in creating that visual. In all honestly I wasn't very familiar with arts-based mathematics learning in any form but after reading about it in the article it makes logical sense as we obviously don't all learn in the same format and some are much more visual learners. I also found it interesting how easily Euclid's proofs lend themselves to dance as I always thought of geometry as visual in nature as I remember building cubes, triangles, etc. throughout school in order to better understand the concept. I also found it interesting how the artists utilized the sand on the beach to draw these geometric shapes while dancing almost like a teachers whiteboard in a classroom but rather using the earth.
