    Ok...

    I have the distinct impression that everyone associates "dancer" with a curvaceous and daintily feminine creature about their own age, generally found in a leotard and leg warmers, the sort of girl I'd invite to dinner, drinks, and them, on me for an evening or two, and who'd take well to wearing a lightweight flippy fabric that shows off the aforementioned panties when she twirls .

    That said, I am neither dainty nor feminine, don't look good in white unless it's a t-shirt, prefer freedom to constriction and leave modesty to the other guy, and it will be a cold day in hell before I wear a leotard .

    Yep, I'm a guy .

    I'm also a guy who's honestly considering learning to dance the fling and sword dance again (did it when I was a kid...I stopped as soon as I realized that "dance" generally equated to "being a girl", which was at a pretty young age...no exposure to history of Highland dance, nor men who danced the Fling etc. as men, and I later learned Swing and a good bit of breaking instead). The 1st Battalion Scots Guards made an impression, I guess.

    So...if you were gonna make an 8yd/16oz kilt for a guy who'd be dancing as well as pelting through the underbrush and wearing it in the occasional hailstorm on the side of a mountain (yep)...would you change anything specific to dancing in the kilt, and why? The SOHDA dress code is complete as to presentation but not as concerns construction nor intent. Weight, I'm not concerned with...tho heat might be a different story...?

    Sincere thanks,
    Sean
