terpsitone
The terpsitone is an electronic musical instrument, invented by Léon Theremin, which consists of a platform fitted with space-controlling antennae, through and around which a dancer would control the musical performance. The instrument was named after the Greek muse of dance, Terpsichore (from the Greek words τέρπω, "delight", and χoρός, "dance").
