Musical Shoes

Pressure sensitive sensors in the shoes respond to the dancer's movements by wirelessly triggering various orchestra sounds that are running in a pre-programmed sequence and played through the dance hall sound system.

So for the Blue Danube for instance, the man's heel unit might trigger the opening lower notes played by the string section answered by the woman's toes tapping out the flute response part. (man, man, man, man, man - girl, girl - girl girl) etc. The heel would trigger lower sounds like bassoons and oboes, the toes high sounds like flutes and violins, the middle sole would play stuff in between.

Although the actual music would be pre-programmed, the dancers would be playing it with their dance moves. Slow waltzes would be played by sliding the feet across the floor while more percussive, staccato tunes would be played with a more flamenco or tap dancing style.
