Every month I will try to include tips for dancers or mothers of dancers to make their lives a little easier when it comes to performing, shows and costumes =)
This Tip of the month is a tip that is GREAT for you vahine's that use cellophane skirts in some performances or numbers.
Cellophane skirts look great on stage they shake easily (making your shake look bigger *wink) AND they are light weight a lot lighter then a regular more. BUT for the dancers that use them frequently you will know cellophane skirt strands love to stick to your body/skin. I use to hate when my cellophane skirt would stick to me after or during a performance. SO for those of you that may not know, Here is the TIP be sure to pack a small bottle of baby powder in your show bag. If you sprinkle some baby powder on your legs before you start dancing you wont have the "sticky" problem as much as you would if you didn't have any powder on. Once the performance is over you can also sprinkle some on again when you are taking your skirt off so you don't cause any strands to break off the skirt it self which sometimes can happen ESPECIALLY during a quick change.
Greetings friends this blog is dedicated to helping Tahitian and Polynesian dancers with great tips whether you compete, dance for exercise, dance professionally or just dance because you love it!
