I have several standards. They're great for every day, in the office wear. The problem as I see it for wearing them dancing is that the fabric doesn't breathe worth a d**n. It also pills really easily, and snags on everything- much like an acrylic sweater. Personally, I would highly recomend getting one of the wool (the shadow tartans are great!). My wool Nighstalker is true to what is said of kilts- it's cool in the heat, warm in the cold, and it looks as good now as it did when I bought it 16 months ago. The acrylics haven't stood up nearly as well. Of course, I have three very cudly cats... those claws on a loose weave material don't help matters any.
