Statement

Over the years, several Bridges papers have delved into the concept of the danceability of a knot diagram. Inspired by dancing on non-orientable surfaces, we expand danceability to twisted virtual knot diagrams. This video accompanies our short paper as an artistic portrayal of what it means to dance a twisted virtual knot.
