Our smallest dance board and our best-selling dance board in 2021 is The Jet Setter. We designed this board because we wanted an extremely portable, affordable dance board that recreational and pre-professional dancers could use to practice their technique at home or on-the-go. Co-founder Saumirah discovered that, though it is only 23 inches in diameter, the Jet Setter is still perfect for practicing tap dance combinations (it really forces you to dance with your feet underneath you!), non-traveling pointe exercises, and even pirouette turns if you’re already a somewhat strong turner (otherwise, you may fall off of the board, so be prepared for that!). Some of our DDDB Brand Ambassadors (search for the hashtag #DDDBambassador across social platforms!) have shown us that they...
At Dance Daze Dance Boards, we pride ourselves on being a company that celebrates color, diversity, and doing good for the world.

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,...

Fall is a special time for us (Jeff and Saumirah, co-founders of Dance Daze Dance Boards) because it reminds us of when we officially began this business back in 2020! Though we began developing our first dance boards in the summer of 2020, our circular dance boards were first available for sale in September/October of that year. Because we were so excited about starting a business together and were seeking ways to celebrate the season (Saumirah loves, LOVES holidays, like all of them . . .), we decided to create orange dance boards last fall as well! This year, we won't be releasing any fully orange boards, but we do have some fun ideas in mind to celebrate the season...
