Is interpretative dancing to the Golden Ratio a good Geometry project idea?

Our group project is to report about the implications of the Golden Ratio in engineering and architecture.

I'm thinking of making an interpretative dance about the golden ratio. Bodies as buildings and music as math.

Do you think this is a good idea or should I stick to conventional wisdom?

I do want to D3fy the project (D3 is Definetly Defy Definition)

The idea behind this project is communication. If you can show your geometry teacher that you know what the Golden Ratio is about and can show your classmates how the Golden Ratio relates to engineering and architecture, then go for it. I can't imagine how you would go about doing such a thing, but I make no special claims about my ability as a dancer or choreographer either.

I hate to disparage what you think is a very creative idea, but the idea is stupid. So is your apparent belief that definitions can be denied--that is an oxymoron. A statement is NOT a definition if it admits a denial.

Try to remember that you are doing mathematics, not pseudoscience.
