Dance of Scales

What is Brownian motion? Illustrated by dancers pushing each other from one to another not knowing where they would land. Had audience of 275 stand up and wave their arms around simulating movement on the nanoscale. When they move closer to one another they start moving in sync; more tightly packed.
If physicist Itai Cohen did this dance display in his class he would pack the biggest lecture halls.
