Play Value

The Dance Chimes connect movement with experience of sounds. People of nearly all ages enjoy producing bright tones by hopping, jumping, or even dancing. Few play items produce so much smiling as this one. Both the spectators and listeners feel a moment of lightness, joy and harmony. The strong motivation produced by the Dance Chimes helps people to overcome physical inhibitions and to harmonise uncoordinated movements. However, even arbitrary hopping produces pleasant sounds which are pentatonic sequences rather than normal tones. Nine brass tiles are arranged in a square with a sound element under each. These are set into vibration by the energy of motion and thus produce ringing tones.The Dance Chimes are also valuable as therapeutic equipment for people with a variety of functional limitations and they are a very attractive and demanding play offer for young children.
