    Not sure, Sparkles - think I might just have to see if Dale can get a pair for me and bring them up to the Champs Grab him next time you get the chance and see if you can get any more info

    I'm planning a trip to Superdance sometime in August (before coming to Scotland) so I can see if I can get some for you (if that's where they're from?). If not just ask Kriss the name of the shop and, oh no, I might have to go shoe shopping! Then I'll bring them up with me when I come in September - if you like? PM me the details!

    Totally agree with you here, however, I think I also take into consideration the venue I'm going to as well... For me different venues give me different partners. Therfore different styling options and such.
    I have the luck of being... erm rather flexible? (I've lost three pairs of Jeans to CMJ! )

    So from now on, If I think I'm going to be lunging at ANY point, I wear flexible dance pants... ( I also had some flares in cotton lycra made up for competitions: Sooooo comfy (and on me sooo stylish ))

    I'm training to be a dancer by profession. So it's bonds singlets for me... cuts down on the heat factor... and the sweat factor.
    But I always have a towel handy for the nastier nights.

    However, I think it's good to make an effort when you can, mood has a lot to do with it.

    Unfortunately, I have had to work EVERY dance party so far (and probably will be working those nights well into the future)
    So I never get the pleasure of seeing everyone "more dressed up" (*murderous grumbling... nightclubs...work... saturdays*)

    *An Australians poor attempt at a Scottish accent* Aach well, watcha gunna doo...?

    Man I've never been so careful with my posting in my life... that took five attempts at editing before I was happy with it.

    Re: Does it matter what you wear?

    OK, so the Hipsters Freestyle is on this Friday - what's everyone wearing?!

    I'll be in a peacock top and trousers (most likely) - sparkly like me!

    Dianas says she will be in a slinky black silk dress (you can stop drooling now guys... OK well, maybe you're entitled to drool a little )

    So, what's everyone else going to be dressing up in?!??

    (if that's not the line Andy was waiting for I don't know what was!)

    Did someone say

    dressing up?

    Unfortunately, as I advised Dianas, I'm going for temperature regulation. Shorts would be very cooling - but at the same time so un-hip my legs would probably drop off

    And we're going to be at Chesham where Marc's teaching, so we'll miss all of you

    Still, always a great night at Chesham ... Never once heard The Mavericks played at that venue, either!

    BTW - All these people who know what they're going to wear in advance - soo organised. I'm really impressed! I usually have 15 minutes to bath and find something - anything - to wear that might be clean and ironed. Hm, must be going wrong somewhere ....

    Me too...surely I am not the only person who is regularly to be seen tearing about upstairs putting things on and standing disparingly in front of the mirror going 'Oh no, not THAT!', whilst wishing that whatever I was wearing yesterday were clean?

    Re: Does it matter what you wear?

    Since I've been on the forum, I have saved myself hours of deliberations over dressing up. In fact, I needed to save that time to make up for.... spending so much time on the Forum!

    That's because I only choose from my 6 zebra tops or my 1 zebra skirt. Easy peasy

    How lucky can one Zebra be?

    BFF Friday? ...that'll be the skirt then...

    No worries, in case anyone is wondering, I'll be wearing sheep, (and pyjamas?) There, that's saved me from making a long agonized decision.

    Re: Does it matter what you wear?

    The standard of dress amongst some male jivers is lamentable. It takes little effort to dress appropriately.

    Gardening clothes should be worn for gardening and jokers who like to wear clown attire or pyjamas for dancing should be censured.
