Dance fuels the sales of petticoats at Christmas.

Rock "n" Roll and square dancing might seem worlds apart but they do share at least one thing in common - petticoats.

This and the number of people taking up dancing as a hobby or some might even say sport. Dancing is extremely arobic and many find it a relaxing and social way to keep fit. It is certainly more fun than the gym.

Square dancing, line dancing, rockabilly, jive and rock "n" roll are all making come backs as people look for ways to reduce their waist lines.

Many of those taking part also want the "look" and this has seen the sales in 2004 overall and at Christmas increase for all dancewear including petticoats for square dancing and rock "n" roll styles.

Petticoatdreams retails a wide selection of petticoats for dancers of all styles at http://www.petticoatdreams.co.uk with Dance Store offering circle skirts and dancewear at http://www.dance-store.co.uk

Cincher belts help complete the look.
