Modern dancers nearly always have naked
feet. Many are trained in tap dance as
well, but this is hard to do with naked feet.
I propose that taps could be applied to the
naked soles using crazy glue, to allow tap
moves during a modern dance.
Traditional tap is limited in that usually
only
the feet (and possibly a cane)
contacts the ground - modern dancers
have no such limits. Dancers might
therefore also glue taps to other parts of
the body, to allow tap expressions which
are truly modern.
Don't know what to make of it

It'd be like treading on Legos, though... |
|
| |
[DrCurry], the correct plural of Lego is Lego. |
|
| |
Depends which country you're in. |
|
| |
I halfbaked this up this afternoon by taping quarters to the soles of a passing toddler. A big hit. |
|
| |
[bungston] I'd buy that for a dollar. |

If you attached pressure sensors you could make music (would that be considered Dance Music?) |
|
| |
Also, mini whoopee cushions would be good (pap dancing?) |
|

+ I like it except for the crazy glue. I was thinking that maybe for the toes it could slip on, something like a finger pick for a guitarist and the heels could go on with velcro tape. That way there is no painful removal. |
|
| |
Plural of lego could be *Legii*? |
|
| |
I had originally envisioned this as a big
toe ring. It would be hard to do this
without adhesive on the heel. Old
doublesticky carpet tape would
probably work better than the masking
tape I had handy yesterday. |

Ian: in a land where Houston is pronounced entirely differently, depending on whether you're talking about the town in Texas or the street in New York, even though both are named after the same person, geez, that's anyone's guess. But Lego bricks are routinely called Legos over here. |
|
| |
Also the "soft shoe" version using sandpaper. |
|
| |
Conversely, my sister and I used to convert our regular shoes using those silver tacs (we gave our soles to dance). It was hell on the downstairs neighbors. |
|
| |
Ah, Blakeys. Forgot about those. |
|
| |
[xenzag] didn't you post //Drum Roll Shoes// a while ago... What happened to them? |
|
| |
Drum Roll Shoes not one of mine [Dub] - I
think you asked me about these by email,
unless my mind is going and it wasn't you
who asked, and it was me who posted
them after all. |
|
| |
On a different, but Lego related matter ...
would there be a demand for Lardgo? -
Lego shaped bricks made of lard. I'm
thinking of investing my life's savings in a
manufacturing plant. |
|
| |
<continuing silly argument> If you absolutely *must* pluralise, surely it ought to be Legoes? |
|
| |
Personally I prefer pluralising the individual bricks. After-all, Lego is a system of parts (the bricks), not an object (ignoring the brand for a moment).</csa> |
|
| |
There is no plural of Lego. Lego is a
single system and there is no
meaningful way you can talk of multiple
Legos any more than you can talk of
multiple internets. Of course the plural
of Lego brick is Lego bricks. |

Oh, I stumbled across the site and came up with this idea: there are modern shoes I wear, and they're just to protect your balls ( on your feet ;) ) and heels(-ish), so why not glue or somehow attach the taps to these shoes... it would give the impression of bare feet. Hey, if this idea takes off, I want credit... and cash. |
