Heels Dance is a dance form that emerged and evolved in the United States and Europe in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, named for one of its distinguishing features: the wearing of high-heeled shoes.

It combines many different techniques of different dance genres including Latin, Jazz, Hip-Hop and more!
