Mathematics of Square Dancing - Chgo Tribune Dec10'07

This article in the Chicago Tribune
is about a class at North Central College in Naperville, called the Mathematics of Square Dancing. There's also this video on the Trib website. Short quote from the article:

"It's math in motion -- you're walking through mathematics and would have no idea you're working with concepts that most college math majors don't study until their fourth year," says math professor David Schmitz, describing square dancing as "solving a Rubik's Cube."
