Mathematical Formulas With Dance Notation

First, let's look at the work of data visualization expert Edward Tufte, who featured the following example of a music score with dance notation in his book Envisioning Information:

Now, let's look at a number of mathematical functions expressed in dance notation (via Kottke):

And now, an actual performance of mathematics-inspired dance....

After seeing that, we're really looking forward to seeing what a professional choreographer like Twyla Tharp can do with the choreography for the Standard Model Lagrangian Density Equation:
