In the traditional square dance world, the square dance attire is: the gents wear long -sleeved shirts, slacks and bolo-tie or a square dance scarf; the ladies in crinoline petticoats or skirts. Here's a sample:
In my non-traditional square dance world, it could be anything!
Here's one. It is the inverted situation : the gent in a kilt and the lady in pants.

They are my friends. The black kilt was made by yours truly: an X-kilt in black cotton twill. She bought it as a birthday gift for him and it's his first kilt
The back side view:
I'll post more pictures of the construction of this xkilt in the DIY section soon.

Square Dancing is becoming a significant activity for me:
Let me share a couple of YouTube videos that I took of the international convention that happened in DC recently.
This one is a "hot hash" square dancing -- the calling is stacked and fast and the dancing is also fast. Not for the newbie or faint of heart. Dancers' reaction time to the call has to be fast and there is no time to think of the call. You just do it. This is not your gramps' square dancing.
IT's a blast to dance! Listen to the verbal/physical responses from the dancers.
Yours truly is kilted.
We have a session where everybody's kilted. It's like kilt-paradise there. (sadly no video taken)...

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!!!!
That was a bit of an understatement Mein!
I don't I will feel so apprehensive about those 64 bar square set SCD dances anymore (at least we know ahead of time where we are going and what we are doing!)
You and your set looked like you were more than up to the challenge!
Well done!
Cheers
