Description
5 The present invention relates to an over-the-shoe dancing
apparatus. In particular, although not exclusively, the invention relates to
an over-the-shoe dancing apparatus including attached taps for tap
dancing.
10 BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Similar to other styles of dancing, tap dancing has many recognized
moves or steps that combine to create a dance routine. These dance
steps vary from being basic (shuffle, ball dog, heel drop), to more
advanced moves that combine elements of basic and intermediate moves
15 in quick succession. These moves require the dancer to make specific
movements of the dancer's body, particularly using their legs and feet.
Tap dancing differs in at least one essential aspect from most other forms
of dancing, namely the tap sound. The principal object of tap dancing is to
create sound with the action of the tap on the dancer's shoe against the
20 dance floor as the dancer creates the visual aspect of the performance.
Tap dancing can be compared to musical sound, where the dancer utilizes
his or her shoes as the instrument to create the sound against the dance
floor, similar to a drummer's drum sticks or a guitar player's guitar strings.
How a tap dancer utilizes their shoes is an essential element to the way the dancer creates the "music" of tap dancing. For experienced tap dancers, the combination of their impact strength and speed of impact against the floor, as well as the location of the impact point on the shoe against the dance floor affects the type and intensity of sound created by
5 the dancer's movement. Although there are many types of tap dance
shoes currently available, all tap shoes share the same general
configuration, that being a shoe portion worn on the dancer's foot and a
pair of taps on the bottom side of the shoe, one positioned at or near the
toe section of the shoe and one at or near the heel section of the shoe.
10 Tap dancing shoes are traditionally made of rigid soles so that the
taps can be screwed into place on the sole of the shoe. This provides little
shock absorption for the dancer who is performing high impact physical
activity. The rigid sole also limits the range of movements that the dancer
can undertake. Typically the taps are metal plates that are attached to the
15 bottom of the shoe with screws, rivets, adhesives or other types of
connectors. A disadvantage to this design is that the screws often wear
with time, and soles often have to be replaced to enable the screws to fit
securely into the base of the hard shoe without loosening.
Additionally, dedicated tap shoes are manufactured in
20 conventionally fixed sizes. Due to this, tap dancers with feet of
intermediate size or of abnormal shape such as thin or wide feet are
required to wear ill-fitting shoes that may potentially cause minor injury or
aggravation to their feet or impact the quality of their tap dancing
performance or their learning experience. Additionally, tap dancers requiring devices such as orthotic support are generally unable to wear these in their conventional tap shoe, and conventional tap shoes offer little additional support such as ankle or arch support for dancers with varying degrees of pronation.
5 It is therefore concluded that there is a significant need in the
market for an over the shoe attachment that allows the user to wear their
properly fitting and supportive shoe such as a running or gym shoe, which
can accommodate their foot shape comfortably, provide varying levels of
ankle and arch support, and allow orthotic inserts if required.
10 Conventional dedicated tap shoes are often slippery, especially for
beginner dancers who not only require a floor grip component but also
shoe cushioning to assist with stability to limit the ankle's natural swivel.
Dedicated tap shoes are often expensive and prone to wear after repeated
use, making tap dancing an expensive undertaking for beginners, parents
15 of children who may take only a single introductory tap dancing class, and
those wishing to participate only occasionally and primarily for the
associated cardiovascular benefits.
An over the shoe attachment is a significantly more cost effective
solution, and also eliminates unnecessary economic wastage by removing
20 the potential need for ill-fitting tap shoes to need to be exchanged, which
may or may not be possible after the user has already worn the shoes.
To provide a less expensive tap shoe option, various tap shoe
developments have been made with regard to over-the-shoe type shoe
accessories with attachable taps, but these accessories tend to produce a less rich, reduced spectrum of sound from the taps due to poor positioning of the taps. Further, these previous accessories have not been able to adequately provide for both the heel and toe taps being positioned to the full extent of the foot, reducing the number of tap movements that can be
5 performed and adversely impacting the tap dancing experience and
quality of the performance. These previous accessories have also not
been able to adequately fix the accessory to the shoe or help provide floor
grip support for the tap dancer whilst wearing the accessory.
Accordingly, based on all of the above, there is a clear need for an
10 improved over-the-shoe tap dancing apparatus.
According to one aspect, the present invention is an over-the-shoe
dancing apparatus comprising:
15 an elastomeric slipper for receiving a shoe wherein the slipper
includes a longitudinal axis, an underside, a toe portion and a heel portion;
at least two taps;
an intermediate layer positioned between at least one of the at least
two taps and the underside of the slipper; and
20 removable fasteners for removably fastening each of the taps to the
underside of the slipper;
wherein a first tap of the at least two taps extends at least equal to
a forward most point along the longitudinal axis of the toe portion of the
slipper and a second tap of the at least two taps extends at least equal to a rearward most point along the longitudinal axis of the heel portion of the slipper.
Preferably, the apparatus includes a gripping means projecting
from the underside of the slipper for preventing slipping.
5 Preferably, the slipper comprises cut-out regions.
Preferably, the intermediate layer comprises polyurethane.
Preferably, the slipper comprises silicon.
Preferably, the taps comprise metal.
Preferably, the removable fasteners are threaded screws.
10 According to another aspect, the present invention is an over-the
shoe dancing apparatus, comprising:
an elastomeric slipper for receiving a shoe wherein the slipper
includes a longitudinal axis, an underside, a toe portion and a heel portion;
at least two taps attached to the underside of the slipper; and
15 an intermediate layer positioned between at least one of the at least
two taps and the underside of the slipper;
wherein a first tap of the at least two taps extends at least equal to
a forward most point along the longitudinal axis of the toe portion of the
slipper and a second tap of the at least two taps extends at least equal to
20 a rearward most point along the longitudinal axis of the heel portion of the
slipper.
Preferably, the apparatus further includes removable fasteners for
removably fastening each of the taps to the underside of the slipper.
