COOL STYLE

Dressing up is very cool, for lots of reasons:
* It helps you get into the swing of things and enjoy the moment
* Helps an audience place the dance in history (ie not Rock n' Roll!).
* Being in costume allows your dance personality to shine through :-)
* It was a stylish time - you'll look great in your new drapes!

There are lots of places to get your smart drapes for dressing up and strutting your stuff. Try some of these links to sort out your wardrobe:
