Dancer's Kilt

[Alan H]

I know this much...there are some tips and tricks about making dancers kilts that might not be known by Joe Average Kiltmaker. So shop around a little bit. If you feel like tackling the project yourself, 1) buy the Art of Kiltmaking and read it, thoroughly....2.) practice first on some cheap stuff, and then 3.) buy the expensive tartan and go for it, incoporating the tips and tricks that Barb and Elsie put in the book.

Elsie Struemeyer offers kiltmaking courses around the country at various times and places. Both Barb T. and way2fractious are veterans of the course. Elsie is a very serious and well-respected dance teacher in Northern California, so what she has to say about dancers kilts is the right stuff, so to speak.

*Ahem* Yours truly as well - I attended the last camp Elsie gave on the East Coast before her retirement from "touring." Elsie no longer teaches kilt-making, but she is still very active in Highland dance and making dancers' kilts. If you wish, I can send you her contact information.
I can also send the contact info for Judy Sullivan, Elsie's chosen successor on the East Coast. Judy and Barb were fellow students in that first Troy Kilt Camp under Elsie, and Judy has been learning from Elsie every year since. In addition to kilts, Judy makes dancers' outfits, so she could help you with the full package, if you want.

Beg Pardon! I'd forgotten that you'd gone to one of the camps!!!

I have always thought the direction the Irish dancing took was a bit too much. I agree that I much prefer the Highland dancing events.

I believe that Barb has daughters who are dancers so I am sure she will be able to take care of your needs.
