I'm going :-) Yay. Never been out that way!

As a follower, sometimes i find that doing our routine is easier to create the expression because I don't have to concentrate as hard on following compared to if we were doing freestyle. Plus, unless the lead is really clear, following freestyle ends up being a lot of guessing sometimes and it...

Hahahahah EXACTLY!!!!!!!!

Latin dancers with larger chests be like: *sigh* I hate when I forget to wear the right "attire" for group technique class when we practice jive.

I was wearing a size 5.5 RR kalahari and now i have Aidas (wide, square toe) size 24.5. My street shoe size is about 8.5

Figured I may as well post this here as well... just was sending this to a friend this morning. BOTH shoes are "wide" versions, but you can see that the IDS one on the left is still more narrow than Aida.

I use vodka for bad body odor. Haven't tried it for mold, but I definitely would give it a try!

I think Rainbow sold her dressmaking company (who have kept the name). I personally know her - I can always ask her when I see her at practice ;-P She is still making her own gowns but I don't think is running her business any longer.

I agree about the Chinese ebay gowns. One of the big problems that I have with some of those sellers (like Sea hunter, seavex, etc.) is that they troll around the web stealing photos from designers and even from people's sales ads and use them saying they'll make you the same dress for $400 (and...

LOL this means I wasn't looking closely enough at the pic :oops: I'll have to count the side facets on the dress that I have - there was more than 12.... I still have a lot of 2028's and they don't look anything like them.

I have a previously loved dress from Europe with a mix of Swarovski and something that looks pretty much exactly like your pics. It's not an older Swarovski cut (too many side facets) but still nice crisp edges. I am curious what they are as well.

Indian pink is really close to Fuchsia, but slightly more towards pink, like a coral colour. It's goint a bit more orangy undertones... heading towards padparadscha. Depending on the fabric shade it could be a contender. For Chartreuse - tricky! Let us know what you end up doing. I was also...

LOL i'm actually relieved to read this - kinda thought I must have been heavier than I thought I was or had some pretty bad technical issues or something.... because no one I knew had this problem (although no one I knew danced in the same shoe/heel combo). It's the heel design that's stupid...

I remember back when I was in Ray Rose Kalahari's and they switched all their normal shoes to "ultra flex" (really supple versions) and I realized how much I actually was lacking in the foot & ankle strength department. LOL. I'm still working on that stuff LOL. It's probably pretty obvious but I...

This is definitely some words of wisdom - I just basically had this conversation two days ago with a retired very high-level amateur. She's still pretty young (hahah well, i consider mid 20's pretty young) too. But she discussed that going to sky-scraper heels definitely had it's challenges. I'm...

I used to dance in Ray Rose slim heel (kalahari), and now Aidas. I've never had flared heels, but the RR slim heel appeared to be more underneath than how the flared heels looked, and to me feels close enough to be somewhat comparable to Aida. However, the RR slim heels are very thin. I had two...

HUGE difference for me - I can barely walk (much less dance) in round-toe latin shoes because of the way they squish my toes together. Quite painful. The toe overhang can happen in either round toe or square toe... imo it's about foot shape. For someone who requires a round-toe shoe, a square...

Yes! Recently in our local scene we often had the championship standard final round of all red dresses over a few competitions LOL

LOL my thing is, i wouldn't want to be in a round with 5 other same-coloured dresses LOL

I"m still curious why white is so typical for finals.
