I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

Pants of Dance vs. Dance Pants

Men wear black dance pants.  Pants.  That are black.  That they dance in.

Ladies wear dance pants.  That are not pants.  That they dance in.  Under their dresses.  I say them like, “dancepants.”  They are also called dance trunks.  Dance shorts.  Dance briefs.  Opaque, high-coverage undies that you wear so your actual undies aren’t on display to the world when you twirl or split or kick in your dresses.  There’s more about them here.  With a picture.
