yes, but that preset / calibration only works for walking, where the user can calibrate for the length of his/her pace, which is going to be pretty standard for flat walking.
dancing on the other hand has steps of many different lengths, and the distribution of long/short/medium will vary by dance and dancer (and that's what you're trying to measure). You won't get distance travelled out of a pedometer for dancing. You'll only get numbers of steps. The instrument works on a weeny pendulum, and count the number of times your upper leg moves forward, out of the vertical.
