Dance is abundantly shown in the media now. Wether your a novice, planning your wedding dance, or hitting the nightclubs - dancing Tango will set you apart from the rest.

| BALLERINA SECRETSUgly Feet?? The $30 foot stretcher from DanceDistributors.com works!!! Get the one with the pad, otherwise it will hurt your heel pretty bad. You may experience soreness on the top of your foot, careful not to strain your achilles tendons. Always do counter stretches and relax while using the stretcher. Doing a few exercises with your theraband immediately after stretching your foot is a good way to build pointing muscles.
