Abstract: A dance practice assembly includes an object that is selectively stationary, a tether assembly and a first handle. The first handle is configured to be coupled via the tether assembly to the object. The first handle includes a first leg and a second leg. The first leg has a first length and a somewhat elliptical cross-sectional shape. The second leg has a second attachment length that is different than the first length. The second leg is also approximately parallel to the first leg. The first handle further includes a third leg that connects the first leg to the second leg, where the third leg is approximately perpendicular to both the first leg and the second leg. The dance practice assembly can further include a second handle that is coupled to the first handle, with the second handle being substantially similar to the first handle.

Abstract: A dance practice assembly is designed to simulate a dance partner for practicing dance routines. The dance practice assembly is configured for use by a dancer relative to a surface. The dance practice assembly includes an object, a tether member and a connector assembly. The object is configured to be selectively positioned adjacent to the surface during use of the dance practice assembly. The tether member is configured to be engaged by the dancer during use of the dance practice assembly. The connector assembly rotatably couples the tether member to the object. The connector assembly includes a first connector member that is coupled to the object, and a second connector member that is rotatably connected to the first connector member. Additionally, the tether member is connected to the second connector member.
