stonecutter Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've been slack - too much focus on Training in Drive, the Susan Garrett recallers course and showing Ziva to her conformation title (18 points to go ). I do plan on watching my Richard Curtis DVD today and get back into it. We've done maintenance training, but no new tricks as yet. Rear end awareness is coming along - but very slowly - it's like when I sometimes tap her on the butt, she gives me a look of "holy cow I can move my back legs" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kallistar Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ok a question for you all regarding costumes for DWD routines, how does one decided what is the right coustume to wear? And if it an era that the song is about do you try to have something as close to it as you can get? Also can anyone tell me what sort of clothing the women wore doing ww2? Did they wear pants and could they wear them for formal events? Hats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them worked on the farms & in industry due to the men being overseas where they wore slacks & overalls. When they went to dances & balls they wore long dresses. Get a hold of the movies "Pearl Harbour" & "Paradise Road" to give you some ideas. Edited January 17, 2012 by luvsdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecutter Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I think I'm going to bite the bullet and enter the 31 March trial to force us into training :laugh: We'll be doing a 1 min 10 sec freestyle routine, not sure if I feel comfortable doing HTM just yet - though today's workshop was very useful. Just need to get a consistent bow going, but I think we can do everything else in the choreography I have in my head :laugh: I'll try and get a video up for everyone to critique :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
