Q:1 How are DancePants
better than the slacks I currently wear
A: There are Several Benefits
Wearing our-line
as explained on this
sheet.
Our outfits are designed exclusively for
Ballroom Competitions and Social Dancing.
We meet current industry standards with judges of events
Perfect for Tango Salsa
Waltz Rumba Cha Cha
American Smooth and International Standard.
Various
options and details allow
you to custom-order what you need.
The Hem design
hides laces and socks.
Permanent Crease runs down center of Leg,
looks sharp edge from the side.
No Puffy Pockets
smooth front design makes you look thinner,
there is more as you will discover looking in the mirror.
You have probably spent
thousands of dollars
$$$$ learning how to dance.
It makes sense to spend a few hundred to look like you have.
Street clothes are fine for
beginners taking lessons.
If you have less than 1 year of
Dance experience your regular
street clothes are fine,
and should not consider us.
Your instructor will let
you know when your ready.
Q:2
Without pockets
can I Carry a car Key, ID or Money ?
If you must carry small items
select the key
pouch.
Slightly larger than a credit card, located right inner side.
For
Dancers who use a shoe
bag, a key pouch is not recommended.
Its Handy for Going out Night Club Dancing or Hotel Room Key
sometimes a customer will require
2 key pouches. one on each side.
an
instructor who needs a place to put checks uses key pouch
but this takes away from the look
and design of the pants.
remember " less is more " you have heard this from
instructor?
Q:3
Pleats or Form fit.
What's the difference?
A: Pleats have a relaxed fit with Folds of material front.
The two 1/2 inch folds are stylish and allow for slight weight gain
Form Fit is more
Smooth Front, not tight,
Perfect for cuban motions,
Tuxedo Pants are Smooth Front or Single Pleat
Q:4 With no belt loops
can I wear a belt?
A: Yes but your pants no longer require one to hold your
pants up
Your new Dance Pants will include a Rubberized Gripper
inside
The Smooth Sturdy Waist band
holds your
pants up, Stomach Flat,
& keeps your Shirt Secure to not pull out.
Select Belt loops
if you wish to wear a belt as option.
1 1/4 1 1/2 1 5/8 1 3/4 2" popular sizes
Without Belt Loops you Look Thinner,
The Lady Can Sense the lead thru mid-section easier.
Dancers that Compete, and
Instructors generally
do not use belt loop pants.
Your figure simply shows
better than your regular work slacks,
or even your best fancy dress pants.
It's about You Looking your BEST wearing our designs.
Salsa Line is Waistband with Belt Loops
great for a Dinner Dance or Walking down the street to Studio
YES we can make 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 waistband with Belt loops
Q:5 Does adding leg lining
get hot inside?
A: No. Friction causes heat.
The lining reduces
friction allowing for a cool silky smooth feel.
In addition the pants return towards the floor
for quicker action, with no wrinkles.
Lining starts at the
Top
of the pants,
down to the end of the hem,
Full Front Lining controls Side Sway over the shoe.
Very important.
Lining on certain materials
Most Customers Select inner leg lining.
you will notice your most expensive slacks over $200 have this.
but they stop at the knee. We go down to the shoe.
