A dictionary for everything you can't explain on the dance floor
TheDanceDefinition takes the small truths of the social dance world – the danced-through night, “Festival Monday”, that one second of connection – and casts them in the shape of a dictionary entry.
The concept
Every design is built like an entry in a dictionary: a term, the phonetic transcription, the part of speech and a definition every dancer recognises instantly. Sometimes honest, sometimes tongue-in-cheek – always from the scene, for the scene.
We sort the terms by the styles they live in: Bachata, Salsa, Urban Kiz, Brazilian Zouk, and everything that belongs to social dance culture in general. A term can live in several worlds – “Syncopation” belongs to Urban Kiz just as much as to the general dance vocabulary.
Design-first, not product-first
Here the design comes first, not the item. You look for the entry that fits you – and only then decide whether it ends up on a t-shirt, hoodie, mug or tote bag. Every design comes in a light and a dark version.
How ordering works
You choose your design, product, colour and size right here on TheDanceDefinition and collect everything in your basket. Only for the final step – address and payment – you are taken to the secure Spreadshirt checkout (sprd.net AG), which also handles printing and shipping. That means established print-on-demand quality and vetted payment methods.
