Let me just comment in terms of the physics of dance floor energy. Since piezometrics is in essence using a cushion to harness energy from the source, when energy is absorbed from human contact with the floor, it takes more energy to maneuver. The same principle applies when trying to run in the sand as opposed to the asphalt (takes much more effort because the sand absorbs your mechanical energy). In this sense, breakdancers may not appreciate this technology as their moves require the maximum thrust off of a solid surface. I would imagine that walking from one end of a long room to another along a piezometric floor would leave somebody more winded than with a hard solid floor. On the other hand, this would make somebody burn more calories per distance walked, which could be a good thing as well.
I guess this still classifies as using a renewable source, even though it is indirectly powered by redbull & vodka, which I wish was renewable...
