Having been persuaded, for the first time, to go to a ballet my sister has reported her surprise at the amount of inelegant clonking that emanates from ballet shoes. Maybe she went to the cheap version.
However, this inspires me to suggest that someone should come up with a form of ballet
wherein the dancers wear hobnail boots. If a supposedly elegant and precise dance form is going to be accompanied by an irritating stomping noise then at least the dancers should wear some challenging footwear to justify it.
I saw the show a couple of years ago.....great fun.

Entrechat or 'leg twiddling'.

As [normzone] says... Tap Dogs. |
|
| |
No, no, no. Tap dancing is something entirely different. What I'm after is standard ballet but with big boots on. |
|
| |
What are those jumps called, where they twiddle the legs? |
|
| |
What colour would the boots be? |
|
| |
So many questions, sorry. |
|
| |
Entrechat is possibly Ling's "twiddle" |
|
| |
//What colour would the boots be? //
Standard 'workman' brown boots. Possibly somewhat muddy. |
|
| |
Hob nailing on hob nobs, perhaps. |
|
| |
This reminds me of po's posting of a
fusion of rugby and ballet. Ah... she's
linked it. Good. |
|
| |
I misread this as 'Hobnail Bullet' and my
first
thought was... 'ouch'. |
|
| |
I think that they're banned under the Geneva Convention. |
|
| |
I read the title of this idea, and I knew it was a [DrBob] idea. +. |
|
| |
PS: [po] you really do seem to know an awful lot about ballet for someone with such a dirty laugh. |

Isn't there a clog dance in "Copelia"? |
