I sent this URL to Leon Cooper, and his comment was, "the twist would be more appropriate"! I'm inclined to agree, but then there is a lot of twisting and linking in the tango, and after all, the two electrons need to be intertwined.
Wow! I was a graduate student of Leon Cooper (his first in fact, over ten years before Irwin Singer did his work) and was involved with both superconducting tunnelling and the Brown University folk dance club. I never thought of combining the two interests, but this really clicks (a sound made by phonons). But how do the dancers stay together after they have discarded the phonons? Anyway, it is great, I wonder if Leon knows about this!
Thanks for the comment. You couldn't have seen it, but shortly after they threw down the 'phonons' one electron became depressed while the other got excited, at least for a moment. Also, I had no idea Leon is still around. By all means, send this link to him - after all, Cooper pairs are (almost) forever!

I find the lines of the movement very smooth. It flows. It's beautiful to watch the dancers' level of confidence.

Wish I had this happening in my physics classes!

If only my science teacher had danced like this, I might not have become a social worker...
