Tried to go to period material, not movies from the 80's! <br><br>The dance steps I just invented. Wanted the little Charleston kick in it, but wanted them to have a big diagonal lean without it quite being a dip. Failing to be accurate--but trying to get the "feeling!"Davis Chinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168954208679712542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-12470424984454731812014-07-17T11:03:05.859-07:002014-07-17T11:03:05.859-07:00Marty, if you like Blanche, you may also like the ...Marty, if you like Blanche, you may also like the Australian TV series <i>Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries</i>. I haven't seen it yet, but based on what I've read about it (and friends' recommendations), I plan on watching it.

This dancer looks like she's doing a <b>charleston</b> kick, when she should be in a dip position to balance herself and match her partner. <br><br>No one in the church group is going to notice (or care), but here's another small issue ...<br>Those high ankle straps didn't come into fashion until the '40s ... <i>after</i> Art Deco waned. If it's not too late, and if you're going for authenticity, you might want to lower the ankle strap to near the instep. If you then made them into T-straps, it would seal the deal.<br><br>Nice drawing, though, Marty! Good Art Deco styling overall (even the hemline, which people often incorrectly depict as shorter).Beatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415354786521419692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-55341462288045007282014-07-17T09:59:48.174-07:002014-07-17T09:59:48.174-07:00I saw a couple doing a tango demo in Ghiradelli sq...I saw a couple doing a tango demo in Ghiradelli square once. It was very impressive. I think that little kick she's doing is a tango step too. What did you use for reference?
