Hit the Streets Dancing - How to Begin with Longboard Dancing

Longboard dancing is on the rise, and it looks absolutely stunning. If you're intrigued to start but unsure where and how to begin, read on - we have some tips and tricks from a pro.

First Steps - Initial Tricks

We asked our pro team rider, Cassandre Lemoine, to provide a quick tutorial on some of the basic and most common tricks in longboard dancing. Check out the video and see that it's not as difficult as it seems, especially in the beginning.

First Board - Custom or Complete?

Before diving into the tricks, you need the right board. You have two choices - a complete dancer or building a custom set-up.

Building a custom board might be challenging for a beginner, so we have some excellent options for you.

Getting a Complete as Your First Board

There are many great options for complete boards that will help you progress to the next level, and the best part - you get everything packaged together.

Consider this Madrid Paddle Freestyle complete - it features a solid maple deck, medium concave for comfortable riding and popping up, and soft wheels to maintain balance without feeling every pebble on the street.

You might also opt for the Landyachtz Stratus board, which offers an extra light deck due to the maple and bamboo combination.

The Stratus also comes with the renowned Bear trucks, Hawgs wheels, and Bear Spaceball bearings, providing the board with an extra quality boost.

Madrid Freestyle Dancer Custom Set-up

The Madrid Freestyle Dancer set-up is budget-friendly and still offers a custom-built board. We're talking about parts from Caliber Trucks, Cinetic, Blood Orange, Venom, and, of course, a Madrid deck.

Take it Up a Notch with a Custom Loaded Board

The Loaded Bhangra custom set-up features additional cork layers for extra lightness, allowing you to start popping up your board. Pair it with Loaded hardware, Paris trucks, and Orangatang fat wheels and you're all set!
