For those of us without access to the video tapes in question, it might
be interesting to post some actual frame counts of the FT steps in
question.  If the floor can be seen clearly on a video, I like to mark
the frame count at which each foot starts and stops moving, plus the
count at which the feet pass or collect, and the count at peak rise and
at minimum lowering.

These numbers are pretty close to objective data (with standard
measurement and quantization errors).  Without floor pressure sensors,
and microphones placed the same distance from the rhythm sound sources
as the dancers, when a "step" occurs after a foot stops moving
seems to be subjective data.

Thanks.
