Gorgeous Performance Skirt for Swing Dancers
Twirls up around you as you spin - but NOT enough to show your, um, underthings!

Knit fabric is ridged (like miniature"baby rib")

Available in Red Only (NOTE: Small & Medium TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE

Our fabulous Twirly Skirt is copied from a gorgeous handmade 1940's skirt. We've made this skirt for years - but this is our redesigned model... our customers said they loved the design, but didn't want it to come up far enough to show their panties (who can blame them?) - so we changed it to be just as twirly, but a bit more modest because it flares out low on the thighs. If you hold up the edges it looks like bat wings - this is not a circle skirt. There's much more fabric in this beauty. The photo above right is to show that when you're not spinning, the Twirly Skirt looks just like any other. You will feel incredibly feminine in this. It is an absolutely wonderful skirt for dance teams - quite show but still very classy. The edges scallop (they go ruffle, ruffle, ruffle) as you spin. Because the waistband is elastic, you can wear it high- or low-waisted. The bottom hem should hang (on most) at or above the knee. Fabric is heavy enough to swish nicely when you stop for a break.

Yes! THEY'RE MACHINE WASHABLE!

Our Women's Red Swishy A-Line Dance Skirt swishes when you swivel.
Knit fabric and 6-panel A-line shape makes this a great all around basic skirt for swing dancing.
Easy care knit polyester. Machine Washable

Because they're Aline, these skirts are not particularly "spinnable", but because they're knit polyester, when you stop spinning they wrap around you then drop in the blink of an eye - quite a striking effect.

These skirts are unlined and have a 1 1/2" elastic waistband and a 3/4" hem.

Available in Red Only

Aris Allen Men's Dance Sneakers
$64.95

Dance Shoe done in an Old School Style Running Sneaker version
Flexible Suede-Bottom Sole
Light as a feather

SIZING:

We find that these run true to size. So order your usual men's dress shoe size. If you're a half size it's best to wear a half size larger than usual (7.5 fits an 8, 11.5 fits a 12, etc.).

These come in whole sizes and, because they're converted from European sizing, are also made in a few half sizes - check the dropdown to see what half sizes are available.

Also, because they're converted from European sizes, the men's version of this shoe is really just an extension of the women's sizes and vice versa. So if you wear men's size 7 (but never a 7.5) you might like the fit of the Women's 8.
