Q:1. How are DancePants better than the slacks I currently wear?
A: There are many reasons that will be explained on this
sheet.
Our pants are designed exclusively for Ballroom Competitons and Social Dancing.
Perfect for Tango Salsa Waltz Rumba Cha Cha American Smooth and International Standard. Various options and details allow you to Tailor your Pants for just you.
First these pants will be made to order, so they should fit perfect.
Second the pants are designed with certain elements to make your posture look better with
a flatter mid section, longer leg lines, and more forward balanced look. The hem design
covers laces, and socks, the permanent crease looks sharp, the no pocket, or beltloop
design makes you look thinner, and much more as you will discover.
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 DancePants.
Dance Shoes are the 1st item the Dancer should consider.
Your instructor will let
you know when your ready.
Q:2 Without pockets how can I carry a car key, ID and money?
If you must carry small items select the unnoticeable key
pouch. Slightly larger than a credit card, and on the right hand inner side.
For Competitors who use a shoe
bag, a key pouch is not recommended.
Fancy floor craft, in front of judges: no key pouch.
sometimes a customer will require
2 key pouches. one on each side.
generally a busy instructor who needs a place to put checks. $
but this takes away from the look
and design of the pants.
less is more.
Q:3 I can't decide on pleats or form fit. What's the difference?
A: Pleats have a relaxed fit with more material in front.
The two 1/2 inch folds are stylish and allow for slight weight gains.
Form Fit is more revealing, but not tight. Perfect for cuban motion, and our most popular.
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 pants have a built in sturdy waistband that holds not only your
pants up, but keeps your shirt secure.
You also look thinner, and the
lady can sense the lead from your mid-section easier.
You may wear a cummerbund or vest for a very stylish presentation.
Dancers that Compete, and Instructors generally do not use belt loop pants.
Your figure simply shows
better than your regular work slacks, or fancy dress pants.
It's about You Looking your BEST.
We also offer a Salsa Line
that is traditional Waistband with BeltLoops
This is great for a Dinner Dance or Stealth Design. DancePants in disguise.
YES we can make 1 1/2 or 1 3/4
waistband with Beltloops
and we can add 4 False Pockets for Country Western if needed.
Q:5 Does adding the 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, and
no wrinkles.
Also the Lining starts at the top
of the pants, down to the end of the hem,
This Full Front Lining controls side sway over the shoe. Very important.
Using Lining on certain materials is not recommended or necessary.
Q:6 What colors do you offer?
A: Silver-Medium-Charcoal Gray
Navy and Royal Blue and others
see color chart for more colors we carry. Let us know your request.
However your 1st pair should be Black

Q:8 How do I care for my DancePants?
A: Machine wash on cold gentle cycle. Hang dry on pant
hanger from waist. Touch up with iron on low heat, with a little pressure.

Q:13 Where are the pants made?
A: California.
Your Pants are first designed,
and a pattern is made to your exact specifications.
Precise cutting of the material ensures a custom fit. Using top of the line sewing
equipment smooth seams, and finished edges are the result. It is important to supply
us with accurate measurements to enable us to perform our job correctly.
It takes about 4 hours labor, and 2 yards of material for 1 pair of DancePants.
The
completed pants are inspected several times, pressed, packaged,
and sent to you with 2-3 day shipping.
Your outfit is made to your specification.
Q:15 Why do you have a permanent sewn-in crease located on the
front ?
A: This is a very important element for the pants to drape well, and look right. This crease gives the edge of the pants structure that will maintain a nice leg line, that will move with you, and stop when you do. It also makes ironing easier. It is difficult to sew this edge which is why you don't see it often. Keeping a straight edge 1/16 from edge requires precise sewing control. The overall effect is excellent, and works to your advantage.
This is an exclusive element of DancePants and is always added in.
Q:16
What's the difference between
the Regular, Latin or Flared Hem
A: The regular hem is
designed for 1/2 inch heels.
The Latin Hem is designed for cuban or 1 1/2 inch heels.
The angled cut on the bottom allows the length to be longer in back to cover the heel and
get closer to the floor without too much break on shoe.
The Flared Hem is somewhat a
disco but not as much.
It is approx 1" wider at the base than normal, and slightly narrow thru the knee.

Most of our customers order Comps. The waistband does not need to be too wide if that is your concern. We can make it narrow, like your regular pants, and even add beltloops if you need them, however most of customers use a 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 inch smooth waistband. Some use 3" and that is as wide as we recommend.
Poly Crepe is our Original
material and makes a great 1st pair.
Its an amazing material, as it looks very nice. Not Cheap. Suiting Type
Material. Non Wrinkle, Machine wash cold gently cycle, and is less maintenance than the
wools.
however the Wools are preferred at Comps, look more expensive because they require frequent ironing, with lint brush, however they last years, and looks new after each ironing.
This is our most popular upgrade.
We have 6-8 other popular ones to
choose from in our Speciality Line in addition.
Makes a great 2nd 3rd pair. We keep your measuremonet on file for Fast EZ Reorder.
Lining: It is nice, as it goes down to the bottom of pants near the shoe to control side sway, and feels silky inside over the thigh and knee. It is not Hot or Sticky, because we use only quality fabrics. Inside and Out! Plus the Consrtuction is 2nd to None!
Its good to consider the Vest at the same time because
it will be made of the same roll and material will match exactly. Wear the Comps for Latin
Rthym and add a Vest for AM Smooth.
