I do ballroom dancing as well, and love how comfortable those shoes are. No dancing yet at the level of the YouTube videos but maybe one day we'll get there. For now we practice the Vienna Waltz in squares :) Also, very interesting post! We've been looking with a small group within the Company on how to do good psychometrics for scale, but we've mostly focused on construct validity, factor analysis and principal components analysis.

You read my post! Actually, it's all in the design that makes them comfortable. If you compare a dance shoe to a regular high heel, you can see where the position of the heel provides more support and thus makes it possible to dance in. I've ended up getting a second pair and removing the felt so I can wear them out. I guess I'm more about the utility. !! You read my post!

I just wish they were around when I was teaching Philosophy to Year 10s, it could have been so good for logic discussions!! I used to use jokes from Vanity Fair that essentially did the same thing.

But if you want to compete with indexed, you have to incorporate set theory in your graph too. Very interesting article and it is something I may have to read several times to completely understand. It is certainly a wonderful verbal dance piece. That is a very interesting correlation. But if you want to compete with indexed, you have to incorporate set theory in your graph too.
