Choose a dress pattern that is about knee length and form fitting.
Cut two slits in the front of the skirt and two in the back. The slits should reach to the upper thigh of the wearer.
Sew fringe, feathers or rows of sequins to the sides of the strips and between them. The skirt will flair out when the dancer spins, and the added glitz will catch the light to highlight a move as well as add some Latin flavor to the ensemble.
Design a deep neckline on the dress by cutting a plunging "V" shape. Line the edges of the neckline with a strip of sequins. Add a piece of lace underneath the "V" to cover the bust with a sensual touch if desired.
Sew a layer of fringe or sequins around the edge of the end of the sleeve. This will help accent arm movements.
Pin a silk flower below the shoulder or alongside the neckline of the dress. Pin another flower to the hip of the dress.
