Yah, I was actually pleasantly surprised...a lot of times, I feel like dresses with a lot of straps tend to look, well, bondage-y :shock: But these are nice...however, I think you have to have a fantastic upper body to pull it off (read: very little body fat!) or else the straps tend to make skin "puff out"...not sure I'd be able to wear some of these dresses myself :oops:
 
Fringes are in, long ones....anything sequency (80's style), longer skirts, and the bob haircut ( I am sooooo over it). Slim heels are also in.

That's what comes to mind.

Hmmm...I like the right half of it. The butterfly is a cool idea, but it looks more Halloween-costumey to me than Latin costumey. Like one of those pairs of mesh butterfly wings you can buy for $7 at a Halloween shop :(

agree with ya that butterfly wing more halloween than latin; when I first look at it I felt something "strange" but couldn't find the right word to describe...yap it's just bit halloween look, would be great for a show if suitable for the theme

really? dancesport.uk dot come shoe section had slogan saying something like "slim era is over for standard, Flared heel still dominate Latin..."

Really? Where? Ironic, because on the front page of their shoe store the have new supadance styles with slim heels.
 
They (supa) are calling it the "slim designer heel". This is how they started with the flare heel. I only noticed it on a few new latin shoes. If it becomes popular then it will start to dominate.
 
I saw that slogan a while ago when they first introduce the supa standard coutour heel; now they removed the slogan however it is possibly true that supa intended to slowly phase out all slim heel style standard shoes; I heard this news a while ago but couldn't believe but now I just browse their site and noticed only 2 styles of standard shoes come with slim heel: supa 1008 & 1001. The rest supa std shoes are all in either coutour or flared. I know it's a sad news for many DF ladies here who loves slim std shoes.

The front page latin shoe that you are looking at is actually not slim heel, it's a flared heel (maybe this new "designer slim"), but they made it so beautifully so it appears "slim" and enhances nice leg lines:)
 
Not so much of a fashion trend as a hairstyle-trend, but I've noticed a lot more ladies with long hair are wearing it down (especially in rhythm) and half pulled back, as opposed to the traditional slicked down, pulled back into a low bun or cut into a short bob. Examples:

Personally, I love it! :D Doesn't look as severe as the traditional bun, very feminine, moves well with the dance and doesn't get in the way (if styled properly!). Especially love the pulled-back-on-the-sides "faux hawk" look that Joanna and Danielle have been sporting :cool:
