Question: Is it possible for a really tall guy and a realy short girl to dance!?
I want to get into ballroom dancing with my girl friend!. The only problem is that im about 6'2 and about 230lbs and shes about 4'11 and 85lbs!. (I suppose if all else fails she could wear 5' heels and I could get half of my shins shot off with a vietnamese machine gun)!. Is it possible for me and her to get into ballroom dancing or is it out of the question with the 2 foot height difference!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Of course you can learn together!. The height difference won't matter for social dancing at all!. If you want to get into competitive dancing you might find some styles work better for you than other!.
Word of advise: with the 2 foot height difference, her heel height won't matter!. She should stick with what's comfortable!. If her heels are too high she won't be able to take a wide step which is a lot more important!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My parents were 6' 6" and 5' 0" (and she didn't ware heels) and were able to take ballroom dancing!. It was a little awkward but they loved it and eventually found their own style!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is probably possible but a lot harder then if you guys were maybe 6 inches apart - she should wear heels for ballroom dancing!. good luck you guys!Www@QuestionHome@Com
