Abstract: An electronic dance floor system (10) that consists of a dance floor (12) having at least two dancing sections (14) with each section further having at least four composite pad assemblies (16). Each of the assemblies (16) is connected through a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) converter (100) to a MIDI equipped sound source (102). When a dancer, during his or her dance routine, steps on selected assemblies (16), an electrical switch module (34) embedded in each assembly triggers the MIDI converter which, in turn, energizes the sound source. Thus, by stepping on selected assemblies (16) a dancer can produce sounds that compliment the dancer's stepping routine. The system (10) can also be designed to include a pair of tapping shoes (110). The shoes independently allow a sound(s) to be produced that enhances the sound(s) produced by the dance floor (12).
