This manga can be described in one word, "sexy". The artwork is rhythmic and beautiful as are the characters and the dancing. It's subtle and flirtatious, keeping you on pins and needles to see exactly what the next interaction between the characters will entail. Made my heart beat mad "badumps".

How can a manga be so sexy?
This manga turned me on a lot of time without the need of explicit scene. Actually 10Dance barely has sexual scenes - the dance is all the sex we need! (as far I read)

The Story is just a excuse to the Top1 classic dancer take dance classes with the Top1 latin dancer (a sexy-as-f**k half Cuban). But the history's flow is very good an make sense. There's a bit of feelings moments, a lot of funny-and-sexy ones a even serious scenes.

For who love soft hunk, but not gym freaks or overbuffed ogres, men better than bishounen guys the art ... style is just the most perfect thing ever.
Also the details, anatomy and feelings' expression are a masterpiece.

It's not the average 'opposite personalities' cliché.
I love these two. A cheerful and easy-going latin who also can fell awkward. A serious-looking and hard-worker Japanese who can also has his joker side.
It's rare and really cool a BL (or ML?) manga where the straight guys keeps straight until the end* (or at least as far I read). None of they are tsundere, none of they are blushing-for-anything finickys and there's not this annoying "unknowingly reciprocal feelings" thing.

Enjoyment?
Just the best BL manga I ever read. It has a lot of what I love and n.o.n.e of what I dislike.
It's very funny. It's sexy as heck. And a sight for sore eyes. 11/10

If you like BL and is not a "girly/childish character only" reader you MUST read it.

I only read this because my partner bought the first five volumes, and I'd give it a solid 6/10

Sports anime/manga (because dancing is a sport, this counts) aren't typically my cup of tea. Romance anime/manga even less so when it's got a lot of the "sexiness" that many people might actually finds draws them to a particular manga. This is because I prefer romance to be secondary to the plot, but that's why this manga was okay with me. The plot is the driving force behind the romance instead of the other way around, and that was nice to see.

That doesn't mean the plot ... made sense. Some of it was flash forewards that only caused extra confusion, and had no other associated foreshadowing that could lead up to those moments. There was a lot of jumping around as well, which was unecessary in context.

The art is beautiful and is the thing that I enjoyed the most, though there were a handful of times that something looked ever so slightly weird. It may have just been me though. I do, however, think it's off that one of the main characters, a cuban, suddenly loses all his skin color just by living in Japan. Half asian or not, people's skin colors don't go from completely dark to pasty pale, and seeing as he's shown out in the sun, I feel his skin would still be somewhat darker. There are many black and dark skinned characters in the manga, and they are drawn fairly well, so why not do that for your main character.

The character's personalities are very rocky at first, and they only solidify as the manga continues. There's also a few moments in which they seem to revert back to their original personalities for a moment.

So while I enjoyed having something new to read, I likely wouldn't read it again.
