Dancer

Das Dancen oder auch Boardwalken wurde vom Surfen übernommen und auf die Straße übertragen. Es geht darum verschiedene Tricks, wie Peter Pan, Hang Ten oder Cross-Steps durch möglichst fließenden Bewegungen miteinander zu kombinieren.
Um genügend Platz auf dem Board für Tricks dieser Art zu haben sind Dancer etwas länger als andere Longboards.
Während die erste Generation Danceboards zwischen 140cm und 150cm lang waren sind

significantly shrunk in comparison. Due to the more compact design of the current dancers, the border between the disciplines dance / boardwalk and freestyle blurs more and more. Tricks such as shove-it or kickflip which are actually skateboard tricks, now belong to the repertoire as well as the classic (nose)manual, g-turn, pivot or tigerclaw.

Peter Markgraf, (German Champion 2011 - Longboard Dancing) describes the requirements and his personal preferences on a dancer quite precisely: "The perfect dancerboard is, in my opinion, about 1.25 meters long, symmetrical and has wide double kicks, I like full shapes with a pleasant concave from nose to tail. The Flex is also important of course. You need enough flex to do boardwalking with flow, but it should also bring enough hardness to make fliptricks and combos. The perfect dancer should have a well-balanced mix between stiffness and flex. I should not be hard as a rock and not flexy as a trampoline."
