Let's Dance
I wanted to practice some dancing poses and get a chance to draw some of the ballroom fashions from the 1930s, so I whipped up this. The only one that doesn't seem to fit is the one near the bottom, which looks a little more like swing dancing to me.
They had awesome dresses back then...*sigh*

Ah. Well, those might be worth learning too. |

Dragon Tamer: Well, those two aren't ballroom dances, but they're
still a lot better than what's considered dancing nowadays. The
Charleston came out in the 1920s--it's what Jimmy Stewart and Donna
Reed dance to in "It's A Wonderful Life" at the high school dance.
The Jitterbug was popular around the 1940s-50s--I'm pretty sure that
it's what the kids were dancing to in the dance scene in "Back to the
Future." Troll Berserker: Thanks! They're just fun to draw. :] |

Great job on those poses. And I love seeing art with those two ^^ |

I must confess I'm not familiar with those. I learned how to waltz
once, and I'm sure I've forgotten it by now. That's about it. |

Phalynx: I know what you mean--they're under appreciated in
comparison to the wolves and dogs on here. Thought I'd give them some
needed attention and shake things up a bit. ;P Crona: Thank you! Dragon Tamer: Thank you. Oh, definitely. They need to bring back ballroom dancing and styles like the Charleston and the Jitterbug. Annita89: Same here! Thanks! |

This makes me wish even more that I was born back then instead of now.
Lo  . I love how even though it's sketchy, it looks soft. Nicely
done. (: |

These are very elegant; certainly better than a lot of dancing you see
nowadays. |
