_(Video showing WLED audio-reactive synchronization)_
Let your feet put on a show with Sparkle Motion dance shoes! These clear platform heels have a huge space with a trap door for entry -- let's fill them with LEDs and a battery so we can put on a light show.
These shoes use WLED software running on Adafruit Mini Sparkle Motion driver boards and lots of RGB NeoPixel LEDs to make it easy to get creative. Built in microphones and WiFi allow the boards to sync to the music and each other. Plus, you can program animated effects and playlists using your phone, tablet, or laptop.
