Swishy Fluffy Shiny

I'm a collegiate competitive ballroom dancer, and I like talking about costumes.

Anyone know any good music editor? I just need something v basic, not complicated. Mainly so I can adjust tempo, bass, speed etc for dance music?

Like you know, if I wanted to do a cha cha routine to boom boom pow but it’s too complicated a routine to do full speed when you start out. So u practice at quarter speed, and then half speed till you have it down enough to attempt full speed? Otherwise I either lose the beat, or get this, trip over my own heel. Luckily I’m usually alone in the studio when I practice…

I’ve heard Audacity is a good free music editor, and it’s available for both windows and mac.

S316 Asymmetrical Flounced Skirt w/ Lace Fringe from Dance America

Super cool use of fringe! I would never have thought to put fringe in that part of a design, but I like it a lot.

Yet another dress found on pintrest that I don’t know the original maker of. I do really like the fabric drape attached at the neckline though!

Jeremy Laracha and Daniela Leon, two amazing salsa dancers looking like they’re on top of the world at the 2012 World Latin Dance Cup. Seriously, these two are so much fun to watch. And I get a kick out of the matching blue and yellow costumes (they kind of remind me of the minions from Despicable Me, but I love it).

Detailing on a dress from Dreamgown which is unfortunately no longer listed on their website. But aren’t those rhinestones gorgeous?

In other news, these costumes really remind me of a tequila sunrise.

International Tango Pro-Am

Reminds me a lot of soda can tabs. Or maybe tin foil? Either way, I'm not a huge fan. I think the decoration is very one-dimensional and could use some variation to be more effective. Source unknown

The Wild and Colorful World of Ballroom Dancers

Although photographer Deanna Dikeman always enjoyed photography, it took some time before she was able to call herself a professional. She studied biology in college, went to medical school, quit, got master’s degree in business, and took a corporate job. She then bought a camera. Five years into her job, she took a leave of absence, signed up for a photography class, and decided to stick with it. “It was the first thing I found where I didn’t care what time of day it was,” Dikeman said. “I didn’t care if I missed lunch. It was so fascinating to me, so I thought ‘I have to pay attention to this.’ ”

Dikeman creates photography series for which she feels a connection; they are also often open-ended. Some of those series include “Relative Moments,” which examines her family in Nebraska and Iowa; “Suburbia,” a study of the suburban landscapes of Johnson County, Kan.; and “Wardrobe”, a series that focuses on the clothing found in a charity thrift store in Hudson, N.Y.
