[Tango-L] chacarera skirts

[sherpal1@aol.com]

hi, i found the website www.tangodebuenosaires.com....click on video on 
homepage, then click on the 4th selection on the list  Malam, Zamba, 
Chacarera...the dancers are oscare mondagaron and gerogieana 
varga.....he goes through some gaucho-flamenco stamping and then she 
appears in a lovly circle skirt dress, with drop waistline, lace 
trimmed....a skirt could be made with a yoke at the waistline and then 
the cirlcle skirt attached to the yoke...folklore flamenco skirts are 
similar and you might find some skirts at flamenco websites or at 
Meinike dancewear in NYC....they have dresses that are similar to this 
one in the video that could be embellished with lace or other trims.

Hola listeros!

We've (finally) learned the chacarera here as a community and recently 
had one
of the university clubs demonstrate it at a Latin festival.  Although 
the women
had long skirts, I would like to either find or make fuller skirts to 
really
make the dance shine for future demos.  I really like the way the woman 
in this
video uses the skirt of her dress and it would be cool to have 
something
similar.

I saw something on Etsy custom-made for $85, but that's way more than 
what I
want to spend on one skirt.  Any suggestions on skirt patterns, 
costuming
secrets, or sources to get a full skirted look?
Gracias,Trini de Pittsburgh
