>FINALLY, A dance belt is as necessary as ballet shoes for men. As a female you have no idea how help full and necessary one is for safety and comfort. PLEASE GET A DANCE BELT. It only takes getting kicked in the groin once to realize what I am talking about. I have partnered many ladies over the years and on occassion you will get kicked in the "family Jewels." I Agree,> I too have also been hit in the same area during partnering class.I'm glad I was wearing the dance belt.
