Chip's Mom - In NZ the sport of dog dancing is called Paws n' Music. NZ models its dog dancing on the UK and there are several dfifferent versions in the USA. - probably more flamboyant versions mostly. Paws n' Music are moves, tricks and routines done to music. If the dog is smart enough then a lot of moves can be learnt to suit the breed attributes. The top requirements is flexibility and balance. Obviously, the leggy, slim and flexible dogs are not Corgis but they can be good dancers in their own right. Like with agility, Border Collies would be the ideal dog for dog dancing. There is a Dachshund in NZ that's good at Paws n' Music And again like agility, a lot depends on the rapport between handler and dog. You wouldn't expect a Corgi to be able to do everything a lean, leggy and flexible dog could do - though I have often danced around confined distances in the kitchen or in the lounge to a catchy bit of music with my Corgis, holding their front legs up with my hands and them stretching up on their back legs. And they seem to enjoy being part of it.
