Step counting for ballroom dancing is WAY low.

Former Member over 6 years ago

I just did 2 hours of ballroom dancing and my step count was only 909. That's just not possible. I was actively moving around a dance floor for 2 hours! Since most of the time my arms are up in the air, holding my partner's hands, is the Vivosport not registering the steps that I take? Do I need to be swinging my arm as I might do if I were walking?

That's correct.

Do I need to be swinging my arm as I might do if I were walking?

Correct again.

So the Vivosport is pretty much not going to count any dancing activity?

For steps to count you would have to swing your arms just as if you were walking or running.
