So many wonderful epiphanies for me lately, it's hard to believe how earth shaking some of them seem for my dancing, but a lot simply came from...
This comp was an incredible experience for me; my first time at either NDCA or USA Dance Nationals! And then to make both of our finals, dancing up...
Viennese waltz for me too, and of course double-reverses, and reverse pivots. I also enjoy using it to round out the transitions to promenade on open...
I guess different couples just express that "joy of dancing" differently. After seeing some of the top pros dance in person, I think that Anastasia...
So I decided to jump in here and resurrect one of the old "smiling" threads because I've been thinking a bit lately about facial expressions, and how...
Yes, this thread is so great! A few more: "I can't feel you!" "I can't get between your legs!" "We have really good connection, but..." "Your...
I think an important thing to consider too is how both partners are approaching practice and lessons together; are you doing it first and foremost to...
I recall a situation once where an old known sort of creeper had plopped down next to me and was talking to me after several dances with me, making...
We're heading toward the middle of the floor; we're dancing Viennese, we're dancing reverses, is the fleckerl coming? It could be any one of these,...
I just want to add one for floorcrafting too. My DP has told me how close I've come to splitting my head open on sharp corners or crashing into...
Just got back into practicing with DP after a few months off of regular practice (he has been working with our coaches on starting up a new studio,...
This sounds exactly like my dance partner and I. So far it's worked out great. :) I'm like you, the stresser and hyper-dedicated type. He...
Amen! I like the drop waist on your dress. It seems like the stiffer fabric with more body in the skirts lends itself well to that style.
The blue satin bias binding worked out well for a couple of reasons; one, because it's cut on the bias, so it can go around curved edges, and also...
Thank you! Yes, it's Venice lace. I bought white lace motifs and then dyed them navy blue, and then stoned them with dark indigo, siam, and siam...
Just wanted to say I'm jealous of this! I will sew a silk dress one day. I'm in love with silk and the way it flows... I had asked here earlier...
Well, it's stretch charmeuse satin...I don't know if that's enough to go on. I guess I'll just plan on sewing and wearing it and be prepared in case...
Thanks everyone! Joe...let us know what you find out...and thanks so much for contacting them. I was curious because I had this wonderful plan for a...
Digging up an old thread, but does anyone know if satin counts as a "light effect" or is not allowed for USA dance syllabus competition wear? I...
I didn't mean to hijack your thread, Mindputtee, but since everyone was talking about dress forms and I'm in the middle of a dress project too I...
