Hey Ladies!

I figured between the YahooGroup and here, we could just about anything we needed to.
Plus, tribe.net is a GREAT place for ideas, networking with other dancers, advice, etc.

Costume Discussion

Leslie511 — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 16:02:54 GMT

Ok, here's a thread to talk about costuming ideas/issues/peeves/etc...

Yes, it's going to be a LONG while before we have to worry about performing and therefore what we are wearing BUT...

a) we're wenches, it's NEVER to soon to talk about garb, and...

b) what costuming decisions we make can affect the various moves and such that will work and won't...

Besides, with an SnB coming up, it makes sense *g*
