Abstract: A new and improved apparatus for exercising and dancing includes a resilient, stretchable band element capable of encircling at least two rigid objects, such as two persons. When two person are encircled by the stretchable band element, the first person can exert an outwardly directed first force against a first portion of the interior side of the band element. Then the second person, who is also encircled by the band element, can experience an inwardly directed second force exerted by a second portion of the interior side of the band element. In addition, the second person can exert an outwardly directed third force against the second portion of the interior side of the band element. This third force is opposite in direction to the first force. The exercising and dancing apparatus can also include two belts, each one for individually encircling one of the two persons who are both encircled by the common band element. Snap connectors can be used to attach the individual belts to the common band element.
