In the movie Shall We Dance the leading man wore a very substantial back brace during practice to improve his posture. I would like to find something like that. I've had no luck so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks........Larry

Larry- The back brace used in the movie is not an actual product on the market. If it were, I bet that it would be a popular sales item. I would think that the back brace such as that one would be too cumbersome, uncomfortable, and dangerous on a lesson, and would most likely not improve one's posture, but worsen it. One could also get too used to using the back brace (using it as a crutch), thus lose the affect of "muscle memory". However, there are many types of back braces that fit comfortably under your clothes that would keep your posture.

Larry:
I believe the back brace you are looking for is available from the Metronome Ballroom in San Fransisco, (http://www.metronomeballroom.com/). From their home page navigate to the What's New page and then select Merchandise. As I recall, the item called Frame Trainer is the back brace you are looking for. I would confirm this through email or a phone call before purchase however.

Thank you Tango666 for the lead. When I checked out the item description on the web site I thought it looked very promising. Alas when I called and spoke to a live person it turns out to not be the item I'm looking for. Thanks again for the effort.
