Today, women and men have plenty of opportunities and options for being active and working out, but few combine the unique beauty and physicality of ballroom dance. More people than ever are discovering the allure of ballroom dancing as both a hobby and an excellent workout. We now see many of them trading in running shoes for Latin ballroom dance shoes that are equally as high tech for support and endurance, but obviously, look a bit more stylish. Women's and  men’s dancewear offers the same benefits as other exercise attire, but with the definite fashionably romantic flair characteristic of ballroom dancing.

Does Your Workout include the Tango and Foxtrot?

Well, it should because ballroom dancing engages every part of your body from head to toe. Physically, your body becomes stronger, more agile, and more flexible. If you want to improve your stamina and level of endurance the advantages of ballroom dancing will compare to more traditional forms of exercise like running or swimming. And you will have fun doing it.  

It Takes Two to Tango: Making New Connections

A crucial thing many people have come to realize as vitally important during the last couple of years is the need for social connections. Ballroom dancing is the perfect vehicle for establishing new friendships while reaping its health benefits. Its essence is for two partners to capture the emotional as well as the physical with both sharing a common goal of performing with ease. Whether kicking up your legs in a tango or gliding through a foxtrot, you need a dance partner. And better yet - a new friend.

More than Shoes and Shirts

Matching each move step for step and anticipating a partner’s often spontaneous routines can instill a sense of rhythm and poise endemic to each Latin ballroom style. The dancers’ heightened awareness should not suffer distractions from dance clothing or shoes that are ill-fitting or unsupported.

Female dancers, with their high heels and luxurious dresses, usually offer no surprises with their customized attire, but male dancewear is equally as important, if not more so. Male dancers require comfortable, moveable shirts, tunics, and vests that adapt to arm movements. And pants also need to be made of fabrics that easily move and bend with all the intricate steps and spins.    

Make Your Move Now

You can keep running, cycling, or swimming, but expand your exercise horizons by adding ballroom dance that embraces fitness and friendship. You will be amazed that your workouts can combine the intensity of some great exercise with the magic of Latin ballroom dance - especially when you are outfitted in the latest in women's or men’s dancewear.
