longboards for dancing and freestyle

Longboarddancing means a combination of dancing steps over the deck as known from surfing on a longboard. Therefor the deck needs special characteristics: Most dancers are longer than regular longboards and equipped with kicks on nose and tail. Many dancers do not have griptape allover which allows easier and more fluent step combinations.

Longboard freestyle means to do tricks with the board. These longboards have a similar shape like dancers but the deck is shorter. Most of these boards do also have griptape allover. In general there's no exact border between longboard dancers and freestyle boards. Mostly both types can be used for both riding styles.
