Famous Dancer Dog Names

Introduction

Knowing what to call your new dog is always difficult, but rather than rush and assign a name, take a few hours or a day or two to think it over carefully. It will give you more time to get to know your dog better, and maybe find some characteristics in them that suit a certain style of name. Keep in mind a young puppy will do things at that age that they will grow out of (hopefully) as they mature. Traits such as eating anything they can get their teeth into may lend itself to the name Chomper, Munchkin, or even Cruncher. But as they grow they will change, so keep in mind Chomper may not suit your mature dog. Famous dancers can inspire dog names such as Bella (after The Beauty and the Beast Character) which suits a stylish, beautiful female dog. Its short and easy to say, and is complementary to the dog. Disco may suit a dog with a ton of energy – it's fun and again, easy to pronounce. So, enjoy choosing a name!

Featured Famous Dancing Dog

Dancing Nathan

Take a hairless Chinese Crested dog, add in some unique dance moves, and you have one happy pooch who just loves to dance, regardless of who is watching him. This stately swaying, hip wiggling dog has become a video sensation after his owner filmed him dancing and posted it online. To the amazement of all, Nathan became an overnight star with thousands of shares and Facebook likes. His video was even featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show. While Nathan is smiling now, life took a turn for the worse in 2008 when his previous owner died, leaving him and several other dogs alone for over a week before they were rescued. He was then passed around from home to home, always being returned to the shelter.

Sad and depressed, he lost faith in humanity and became withdrawn. But hope was on the horizon when a rescue group for dogs called appropriately, Bald is Beautiful, found him. They specialize in rescuing hairless dogs that are dumped or abandoned. Nathan finally found his forever home as the owners fell in love with this slender little dog and decided to adopt him. So is it any wonder that Nathan now dances for joy? He has plenty of canine friends, and a human who loves him to pieces. Nathan has a dance style people call canine Gangnam Style; with a shimmy here and a wiggle there, Nathan knows how to cut the moves. This little dog with the tufted hair on his head and bald body is the life of the party and shows how happy he is in his new home.

Dances with Wolves is a great movie. A little tongue in cheek as it's not really about dancing at all, but about a character played by Kevin Costner. It is set in the wild west and features the Sioux Nation. The story revolves around the respect he gains towards the native people and how he fights against prejudice at Fort Sedgewick. The Sioux people give him the name Dances with Wolves after seeing him dance around the fire one night at his camp (so it has a little about dancing). It is a sad tale with no happy end for the Sioux Nation, but it is a movie well worth watching. Wolf is the perfect moniker for a large dog like a German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute or Canadian Eskimo dog.

Famous Dancer Dog Name Considerations

When choosing a name for your dog, be practical about it and select one you will be happy to live with as most dogs live for ten to fifteen years. There are many things to consider when choosing a name. You could base it on the dog's size; for example, Tiny or Tinker Bell for a small dainty dog, or Brutus, Rock, or Beast for a massive solid dog such as a German Shepherd or Rottweiler.

When thinking of a famous dancer, we typically think of gracefulness and flowing movements. A dog such as an Afghan Hound or a Saluki would suit this type of name. A sleek Greyhound or Whippet may bring the image of a dancer to mind as well. Your inspiration can come from many sources. Ballet is a beautiful art form that can be inspirational, and even just looking at the terms used within ballet can provide some original names. Avant means forward and Cabriole means a jumping movement. These titles can sound unique when bestowed upon your best friend.

Your favorite style of dance can get you thinking along the lines of Tango, Disco, or Polka (which would be ideal for a Dalmatian with all its spots). Then there is the Mamba, Cha Cha, or Jive which have a masculine tone. Salsa, Hustle or even Flamingo (or Mingo) may work for your dog, as can Zumba. Dogs that are naturally lean, active and boisterous may suit a dance style tag. For a quieter dog, you may need to look into the dancer’s name to get one that suits. Something like Aria or Diva may suit a special female dog, or Fabio or Sergio may suit a male dog with athletic ability or skills.
