    Designer label on my outfit

    I agree. Many dresses and shirts has the designer's label on them... just like how Jude mentioned wearing runners with a Nike logo or a Louis Vuitton bag with LV all over it. But it is not necessarily relevant to having a sponsorship or not. If you do have sponsors and need to put...

    Competition Hair

    I originally was using got2be glued products (and the price is good) and the hold is great but I haven't had the shine success with that. True it's all swartzkoff but there is a noticeable difference with the "professional" line and the cheaper got2be stuff. But the price is definitely higher...

    Competition Hair

    Ok so i have discovered that this gel is shiny AF. I did use my chi products (i still really like them and it's also quite high shine) gel first then this swartzkoff product as a top coat of gel (it's super thick i just spread it on like thin layer of icing LOL), then the chi hairspray on...

    When you're off the beat

    Actually this is true - from what I understand it's better to be off-time together (and at least dancing "together") than one trying to get the other back on time (which generally results in a lot of bumping and chaos). It's already off time, "fighting" just makes it worse....I have a lot of...

    When you're off the beat

    Social dancing, always B. Even though it's like fingernails on a chalkboard. I just smile and go with it. I try to focus on other things so I don't obsess the entire song about how we're off-time. I'm usually a nice social dancer... ....Competitive dancer however....... uhhhh..... C? LOL

    How long would you keep dancing if the song never ended?

    I suppose it depends on the song. Maybe 1 min if it was jive or quick step hahahah.

    Shoe Woes

    I just want to add a reinforcement to the "supadance runs narrow" theory. THEY DO lol I've ordered extra wide standard shoes that I had to return because they were SO tight... they felt tighter than IDS or Aida wide!

    What makes a dress cost _______?

    Have many people here ordered dresses from outside of North America? I'm wondering if the prices are more competitive in Europe. I'm only basing my theory on little chunks of information but say, an average new Chrisanne dress listed on their website is around the 2,000 GBP mark (converting on...

    MIT Open 2016

    Okay that sounds good. Thanks for the update! We'll be attending this year, and we're starting our new fresh-out-of-gold Pre-Champ routines now. Which basically means we can barely get through them at -25 tempo (maybe -35 for jive haha), and our technique is like a dumpster fire. We aim to...

    Help on fixing a smooth dress?

    I"ve had similar situations and i've changed the bra cups and then tightened the side seams in the upper body (guess this depends on the gown). I'll pick off the stones, sew, then re-glue them. I've broken many needles trying to sew around stones when I was lazy hahaha.

    Body "issues" and dancing

    ....reminds me of the time I bought a "medium" sized used costume from a dancer in Europe - that i'm certain was about a US size 2 (i'm about size 8).

    Man's Latin Shirt Pattern

    ^^^^^^^^ I ran into that very problem during one latin-shirt attempt. Over-the-pant shirt had to become in-the-pant shirt. LOL

    Survey: What "Dance Present" Do You Want For Christmas?

    Is it too much to want an entire competition-sized ballroom built beneath (or on top of) my house?

    IDS vs. Ray Rose vs. Aida Latin Shoes

    Looks like you wouldn't have that baby-toe-escapee problem with that model either? I've only ever tried the one style, although in this brand and size i'm in so far my toes have stayed in (not so much with some others...). Makes for dangerous social dancing situations LOL

    What makes a dress cost _______?

    That ice must HURT too if when you hit it hard :-/ Thanks for the awesome post!! Things I've always been curious about, finally answered! Yay.

    What makes a dress cost _______?

    Okay a little off tangent here but it's something I've always been curious about (knowing nothing about ice dance and figure skating LOL). It's about costuming embellishments. I've seen some have rhinestones but I'm assuming that dropping stones or other random costume pieces on the ice can...

    Sprucing up my Standard gown - sewing questions!

    I loved the dress (and the dancing too!)- I noticed that it had a moon on the back and your smooth dress was a sun. I liked that!!! I love the way the stoning design is and (personally) i'd be hesitant to change it aside from maybe just sparkling the crap out of the purple with closely...

    2016 MAC

    We were hoping to go but since we are in the process of getting a pile of new routines, nothing will be danceable by then *sniff*. Count us in for 2017 LOL.

    Official Ballroom Song ID Thread

    HAHAHAH i'm tempted to mail in a flash drive actually - there were a few rumbas I really liked but had no idea what they were (sadly, don't remember the rounds either). The Game of Thrones VW finally made it's way out here hahahahah so excited.
