Topline Dance Frame - The Teaching Tool for Ballroom Dancers.
Are you struggling to achieve that posture on Ballroom Dance?
We think that Topline Dance Frame may be what you are looking for.
The Topline Dance Frame is a teaching and training tool used by many Ballroom Dancer worldwide. It not only helps maintains stillness in the arms and shoulders, but improves rotation in the mid-section of the body, making your dancing fluid.
The fusion of technology and topline have resulted in a new training aid to help ballroom dancers achieve the perfect posture.
TopLine Dance Frame uses the body’s own ability for muscle memory to train itself over time into adopting stillness in the upper body while developing shaping through body rotation.
The British-made innovation, which comes in three sizes to fit all ages and body shapes, has been two years in development and is now available to buy through DanceSportShop.
It’s been produced using light-weight materials and uses a modular design that can be altered to suit the user. It’s also easy to assemble and can fit into a shoe bag for travel and storage.
TopLine ambassador, British Amateur Ballroom Champion, Mark Elsbury (pictured with wife and dance partner Olga below) said that it offers dancers the chance to “seriously improve their dancing.”
“It really does work. You can see the difference after only a short time. It doesn’t encourage the dancer to rest on the frame but promotes the right position and allows the muscles to work for themselves. Then, when you dance without the frame your body remembers where it needs to be and helps to sustain the right positon.”
This means that TopLine naturally assists in the evolution of your dance technique, prohibits bad habits and provides you with a competitive advantage at any level.

Features
Modular
The TopLine Dance Frame consists of 5 separate lightweight pieces which simply slot together and click into place. After training, the frame is easily separated and the modular design means that the frame fits easily into a shoe or sports bag making transport effortless.
Adjustable
The frame is available in 3 sizes – small, medium and large. Each frame has 12 adjustment points, allowing it to be custom-fitted for both height and width, and enabling it to be altered to suit dancers with different statures and body shapes.The frame can also be offset to balance out an uneven shoulder line or to drop the right arm slightly for tango hold. See our how to assemble video for details
Adaptable
The components from each of the three sizes can inter-connect, giving the frame greater flexibility to meet the requirements of any anatomy. For example, a slim dancer with longer than average arms may require the neck piece from a medium frame but the connectors and arm sections from the larger version.Teachers who buy a set for their studio can adapt the frames in this way to provider the user with a tailor-made fit. The Red One is particularly useful in a teaching environment as it can be clearly seen against dark practice wear.
