While there are so many ways to use Dance Daze Dance Boards, our co-founder Saumirah McWoodson loves using them most for doing outdoor ballet barre classes and for learning tap dance combinations from YouTube! Throughout 2020 and 2021, Saumirah says that using her Dance Daze Dance Boards helped her to establish consistent practice routines, improve her ballet technique, and to develop her own creative practice. While Saumirah is most experienced in classical ballet and tap--as those are the styles of dance she began studying as a child and continued practicing and training in through her adult years--those who practice other styles of dance love using Dance Daze Dance Boards as well. Dance Daze Dance Boards can be used for practicing balancing,...

Our Co-founder Jeff just got back from a few days of camping. Our other Co-founder, Saumirah, could spend an entire day laying out at the beach with good friends, good music, and good food. And, as you likely know if you're reading this blog, Saumirah absolutely loves dancing outside. I could go on and share about how Jeff was a Boy Scout as a kid or how Saumirah has volunteered with several nonprofit organizations that regularly pick up trash, but the point is this: The founders of Dance Daze Dance Boards love the earth. We want to heal the earth, protect it, and enjoy it. So it only makes sense that we'd be really sensible when it comes to only...
Every single photo of me posing on a Dance Daze Dance Board ™ is outside. On top of that, I only have a few videos, likely amounting to fewer than 20 seconds in all, showing me dancing on one of my boards indoors. And maybe that would be alright, except that our dance boards function perfectly well indoors as much as they do outdoors. And, when I talk about DDDB, our passion for spreading positivity, our desire to celebrate color and diversity, and our fantastic, handmade products, I want to tell everyone about all of the benefits. So, for a long time, it really bothered me that my reality is as it is: I really don't like the idea of people anywhere...
Did you know that we have two collections of dance boards to choose from? Our original collection of dance boards includes The Jet Setter, The Cosmopolitan, and The Sacramento. Each of these boards are great because they're so simple and perfect for a variety of dance styles. However, we are absolutely LOVING our newest collection of sprung dance boards! Our sprung dance boards are The District and The Manhattan. So why are our portable sprung dance boards so great? Here are a few reasons: Our sprung boards have pieces of foam attached to the bottom so that the board gives a feeling of "floating" or a slight spring when dancing on them. Our sprung dance boards help to absorb shock....
