Question:

Where can I buy Ballroom skirts or dresses?

i do latin style ballroom and i'm having trouble with buying skirts and dresses for practices. I have shortish legs and every kind of skirt i find is too long...any ideas?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Don't buy anything like that on e-bay unless you're e-bay expert. Chances are, you'll get total junk.
If it's just a practice skirt, try to visit your local dance store. If you don't have one in your area, here is a few links:
http://www.discountdance.com (they have only two Latin skirts, on the last page of the "adult skirts" section)
http://allaboutdance.com
With the above websites, be sure to buy Latin/salsa skirt, not a ballet skirt. Ballet skirt won't work. Anything that says "chifonne" or looks light is not good for you.

Have you considered practicing in pants? There is a kind of stretchy dance pants that's fitted all the way down to your calf, so that the teacher can see your hips and knees. dancesport.uk.com has them. I bought one of those, they are really awesome.
