Shins vs Head-highs
“Shin-busters” don’t light the floor and, consequently, they can make the performer appear to “float” above the stage.
Shins also fill in under the raised arm (and leg) and so help accentuate the movement of the performer – very useful in dance!
The results may not look very different when arms and legs are down - that quickly changes when large movements are introduced.
