What is a pareo (pah-ray-oh)? One of the essentials to tahitian dancing of course. One must use this to dance in. It can be for any typical practice, and/or when competing, is part of a costume, and could be of any color. It's basically a skirt. It comes in different sizes, and it doesn't really matter when making your costume or just simply the pareo itself. You can always get it altered! There are plenty of different patterns/designs as well. In Hawaii, they sell plenty of them too. But you don't have to travel all the way to Hawaii to get one! You can usually pick these up at fabric places and make your own. Once you've got your pareo, you're ready to go and dance! How it's worn is pretty easy to figure out. All you do is wrap around your lower body, and tie it to either your left or right side. Whichever is more comfortable for one.
would I be able to find this at a Michael's store?
