Heels Burlesque (also called Stiletto Dance) is a dance form that
emerged and evolved in the United States and Europe in the late 20th and
early 21st centuries. It is named after the women's shoe style, since
one of its distinguishing features is the wearing of high-heeled shoes
during performance.
Heels dance is a solo dance genre often featured in routines seen in pop
and hip-hop music videos. It's techniques and dance vocabulary derive
from a wide range of dance styles used in music video choreography as
well as traditional dance genres. It is characterized by dynamic
footwork & technique from jazz dance, showgirl dance, ballroom dance and
Latin dance. It is also used in some go-go dancing performances. Many
other dance styles have influenced this modern day dance style: for
example, torso isolations borrowed from belly dance and hip hop dance,
floor work, fluid arm work and body language in some forms of heels
dance coming from exotic dancing (such as pole dance floorwork) and
contemporary dance. Heels dance is technically demanding, and dancers
who perform it are typically professionally trained in jazz dance &
other styles, including ballet.
