Hungarian folk dancers from Sapientia University act out the quicksort algorithm step by step, with music. It is part of the AlgoRythmics series of sorting algorithms performed as dance.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN recommends it as a memorable and fun way to visualize how sorting algorithms work.

Friend, I'm not saying you were wrong or trying to argue with you. Just pointing out that different people learn differently, and it's good to have different ways to illustrate and explain things. You never know when one kind of explanation may give someone an "aha" moment that they didn't get somewhere else. And sometimes it's good to do things like this just for fun. For example, my very favorite visualizations of sorting algorithms are the Hungarian dancers: this video (Turn the sound up to enjoy the music!)
