Does anyone have a pattern for a short chiffon ballet, dance, or skating skirt?

I need to make 5 short chiffon skirts for the fairies in A Midsummer Night's dream. I an looking for something similar to a circle skirt--heck, it can even be a circle skirt!

Many Thanks :)

Kwik Sew has good dancewear/skatewear patterns, and most fabric stores carry them. Another good pattern brand is Green Pepper, also available in fabric stores.

I would make it shorter than this one.
Back to high school math class

measure the waist and add one inch. This is the circumference of the circle you cut for the pattern and mark it "waist". cut the pattern in paper and place the waist circle on another piece of paper, near the center. draw the circle and a second circle however many inches you want it to be long and add one inch for seam and rolled hem. Cut out the center waist crcle, the hem edge and a seam from waist to hem.

You have made your own pattern and can adjust for each girl.

http://www.simplicity.com and http://www.mccalls.com are the best easily available pattern companies online.
you dont need a circle skirt, just cut the fabric about the length you want plus hem and waist, and gather a lot of it up tight to fit the waist, add waist band and hem it. circles are a friggin pain to hem.

Dance schools in Australia, don't really do that unless it's like the Australian Ballet which I didn't get into lol :)

What is the most popular type of dance?? Tap,Ballet or Jazz.?

To perform? To watch?

I love watching ballet.......but hated my many years of taking ballet. I lovedddddd my jazz and modern classes instead. With modern dance you are so much more open for freedom and expression and various movements than in ballet. Ballet is a much more structured form.

Jazz? Man.......can't beat it. Let loose with larger movements........faster paces.......quicker more isolated movements of our body.

Now we come to Tap........*sigh* Tap. Not a fan. I do love watching the old MGM musicals where Gene Kelly is tapping up a storm. But I really really don't like watching little girls in feathers tapping their way across a stage in a recital. (just my personal opinion of course)

Well these are my thoughts........thank you for letting me express them. :)

What is the most popular type of dance?? Tap,Ballet or Jazz.?opera score

Well to answer your question I think everyone has their own opinion but right now Tap is big on Broadway. Jazz is quite popular and ballet is in play productions as well. They all have pro's and cons. I would sugest to try them all.

I have taken ballet for 9 years. Ballet is beautiful but you have to be in a state of mind to preform your best. It's also beautiful to watch. Expesially when the dancers are in unison.

I have taken tap for 10 years. It would probably say it's one of my favorites. It can be enterjetic and exiting or it could be more laid-back and calm. The costumes are awsome too! Also try Irish tap. It's really exillerating. I love it!

I haven't taken Jazz very long but it kinda depends who is teaching it. I think it's very fun as well.

What should you do if you want to begin ballet at a late age ( for my daughter)?

What is a "Late Age"? 7? 12? 17?

Has she been involved in other forms of dance already?

What other activities does she do?

I know several people who were involved with things like tap, jazz, and gymnastics from an early age (like 3) and then progressed into ballet later. Some as late as 12 years old.

More background is needed for me to give you a better answer.

GoodLuck!
We gotta know what is a "late" age first...

You can begin ballet at any age. If your daughter feels she is too old to start in a level one class for young girls there are adult classes
there is no late age. even if she's 35 and just starting and will never go pro, the exercise and self-esteem she will develop will be SO good for her!
there is no late age to begin dance though it might take up to a year to catch up with her age group standards
