Manx Batons: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

When it comes to twirling batons none are more impressive that those made by Manx Batons. For many years this Isle of Man based firm has been making top of the range twirling batons and has been perfecting the process of making the shafts and the tips. Most recently Manx Batons have increased the strength of their stainless steel shafts by 30% resulting in an even more bend resistant baton. Not only that but these steel shafts come in a choice of three medal colours: gold, silver and bronze.

D-Biz Productions Present…..

D-Biz Productions Present…..: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

If ever you had any doubt about buying from Dancemania Dancewear then let this post put those doubts to rest. Sophie Prescott has put her huge talents into giving a video presentation of the 10 top reasons why you should buy from Dancemania, and she has done it in her own razzle-dazzle style giving all who watch a glimpse at why she is a delight to work with - bright, energetic and (yes, I can't avoid saying it) bubbly.

In the making of this video there was a technical problem with the live sound recording but switching of the 'wind noise' filter off rectified the problem - doh!

It is clear from watching the staff working in the background that Sophie is in a group of one for those enjoying the limelight, although the webmaster David gave it a valiant go. Perhaps Sophie could spend sometime coaching the Dancemania staff on speaking to camera so that in future videos they don't look so desparate to get out of shot.

Anyway, should you still be dubious then take a look at the glowing praise Dancemania's customers have given within testimonials.

Shoes for trampolining - Bargain trampoline shoes: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Good grief! Trampoline shoes for only £5!

Well it's true, and these shoes for trampolining are made to a very high quality of fabric and manufacture, and fit much better than some famous brand alternatives. The seude sole is soft and flexible and attached securely to the cotton/lycra sock, which encloses the foot very snuggly indeed. For added security the shoe has twin elastics sewn into the sock to grip the foot and to hold the sock in place.

Whilst Dancemania has had their products perform at the Royal Albert Hall before nothing had prepared them for this particular performance.

A facinating story of how the BBC Concert Orchestra devised an interesting use for Dancemania's own label White Low Heel Canvas Tap Shoe and added a pazazzie showbiz feel to a performance in the BBC's PROMS.

With photographs and video supplied by Alasdair Malloy, the principal percussionist with the BBC Concert Orchestra, and a sample captured from the live performance this blog post captures the excitement of preparing for a big performance at one of the World's great performance venues.

Will my toenail come off?

Will my toenail come off?: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
Well, here is a veritable smorgasbord of gross pictures of a poor toe that has been broken (not deliberately) and is going to loose its nail.

The post may give some people in a similar situation some comfort as it gives a daily account of what to expect and some advice on what can be done to allieviate the problems associated with a broken toe.

It is a fact that dancers and gymnasts frequently stub their toes as they often perform bare-footed, or if they wear shoes they are usually thin and offer no protection from impact.

These people cannot afford to veg-out whilst their foot gets better so they may take heart from the exercise advice given here.

Capezio dancewear and dance shoes

Capezio dancewear and dance shoes: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Capezio is the family name of the founder of what is now a highly regarded manufacturer of dance shoes, dancewear and dance accessories. Established in the 19th Centuary Capezio was a cobbler in New York city and as a consequence of being just across the road from a major dance company did much of his work on dance shoes. Due to a curiosity and a large potential market Capezio experimented with making his own dance shoes, becoming very successful with his own pointe shoes. The transition from cobbler to shoe maker was complete and the Capezio brand of dance shoes took off big time.

Since those early days Capezio has remained a family business and now makes dance clothing and dance accessories as well as still making market leading dance shoes.

Capezio's present day strengths include its successful experimentation with modern fabrics, creating such popular lines as its 'layers' clothing, Capezio bags and holdalls, always a big favourite with dancers and after it's acquisition of Bunheads® a collection of dance aids & accessories to pamper every dancer.

How to place an order for BFPO delivery

How to place an order for BFPO delivery

Yesterday was the UK's second Armed Forces day and the country saw dozens of special events put on to celebrate the magnificent job that service men & women, past & present have done in protecting the UK & it's interests. James went to the Tank Fest event at the Bovington tank museum in the scorching sun and had a whale of a time.

Our troops can find themselves anywhere in the World at a moment’s notice, and as a consequence of the work they do have to remain highly mobile, rarely staying in one place for too long. This becomes a major problem when sending mail to them as you can never be too sure where to address it. Thankfully this is taken care of by the British Forces Post Office (BFPO), which has a long tradition of getting post to the addressee.

But a big problem with using the BFPO is that outside of the military’s extended family few people know how to use the BFPO. Worse still few businesses offer a delivery service via BFPO, which I believe should be part of the UK’s covenant with its Armed Forces.

In that respect Dancemania dancewear is doing its bit by offering a shipping method through the BFPO, and an explanation of how to place an order for BFPO delivery is given in Dancemania’s blog.

Bloch Amalgam 507 Dance Sneaker - Dancemania Dancewear

Bloch Amalgam 507 Dance Sneaker - Dancemania Dancewear

Building on the strengths of the Slipstream Bloch have produced the Amalgam 570s cross-over dance shoe. Cross-over describes the role and function of the shoe as having attributes of both a jazz shoe and a dance sneaker - it fulfills both roles and is capable of providing the function of each.

There are many differences between the Bloch Slipstream and the new Alamgam, the biggest being that the Amalgam is a lace-up shoe instead of a velcro fastening shoe that the slipstream is.

Lightweight, unisex, supportive, flexible, breatable and available in 5 colour options the Bloach Amalgam is a great shoe and will be a massive success for years to come and ulitmately will be a classic.

Leo's Dancewear - Leotards and dance clothing

Dancemania has such a large warehouse that it is sometimes possible to lose an entire truck load of dancewear, and that is exactly what happened sometime in the past because we have recently stumbled upon a massive stock of Leo's Dancewear leotards that have not yet been on the website.

Some are now discontinued and so their price have been lowered to reflect this, so are old designs but all are fabulous quality and not at all common in dance classes in the UK.

Firstly we have the Leo's Contrast Halterneck Leotard, which is available in eye catching black with pink piping or stylish cappuccino with pink piping. This leotard is fabulous to wear and is so unusual as to make the wearer stand out in a crowd.

Then we have Leo's navy tank leotard at £15, so cheap you've got to want to snap up a couple before they all go. Find this leotard and many other give-a-ways in our Sale.

For those ballerinas that like to accessorise we have Leo's Pop Art Ballerina T-shirt in cool cotton with a hot motif.

A bit weird this but we have a pile of Leo's Halterneck Leotards but all in Large Adult size. Never mind, they are quality leotards in a fabulous design.

Capezio Camisole BraTek Leotard bra - Dancemania Dancewear

Its a leotard with a built in bra!

Capezio's camisole leotard bra (code BX110) uses BraTek® technology to make sure that you stay well supported at all times and the DANCELOGIC® fabric makes sure that you look great at all times.

The leotard is made from a fabric that feels like soft suede and it has been treated with a special substance called DANCEFRESH® that kills microbes that cause clothing to start smelling badly after they've been worn for a while. The built in bra has softly padded cups that fit most sizes and the strap has three hook positions for good fitting.

The great thing about this leotard bra is that the bra is partially attached, which gives you increased freedom of movement that is so important for a dancer.

Capezio's BraTek® leotard bras are going to be the must have dance leotard for the season ahead so make sure that you get yours now from Dancemania Dancewear. We don't think you'll find cheaper prices anywhere else.
