In ballroom dancing is there a minimum height difference between partners?

There is no minimum height difference in social dancing, however,  if you are looking into competition the lead should be an inch or two taller than the lady. Most experienced dancers wear 3 inch heels. If it the height is not quite right, you can have the lady look into wearing 2.5 inch heels instead. There are several very successful couple who were not “the right height” for each other and they made it work. Also, if you are doing standard or smooth dancing, the heels are usually between 2 and 2.5 inches instead of 3.
