[accessibleimage] Dance and all that jazz

Hi,
Well,  there is always taking a dance course yourself.  By doing is a
pretty good way to understanding. 
Isn't it like any other activity?
It would also depend apon what the individual wants or what type of
representation, I would think.
An abreviated tactile diagram might be something to read before going to a
ballet or during. 
From the Art Beyond Sight I learned about how Opera can be made accessible
and this also involves
the ballet. There must be lots of solutions and depends apon the
individual.
I learned about a dance notation from Joel Snyder that I thought could
possibly used for expressing also
other movements. It's in a way like a musical score.
Then of course description is vital. 
Different solutions give different results
So, will we be hearing the tap tap tap of your tap dancing shoes any time
soon?
Regards,
Lisa
