Does anyone know a dance teacher in Toronto (Canada) who knows how to put on this type of costume? I study Thai dance (very similar) and I have the male-dancer's costume (similar to these ones), but I can't find anyone to help me. These costumes require an assistant who dresses the dancer, and the folding technique is a bit difficult. THX a million!
Not all S-East Asian cultures have 'finger-bending' dance (the Lao & Khmer do), and not all Thai school-children learn to dance beyond a few basic movements. Those who go on to dance colleges train like ballet dancers, so their hands retain their flexibility right into old age. I took Thai classical dance training in Bangkok, I was 35 and they put me in with the 18-year olds! My hands were SO stiff compared to theirs, but I found that constant stretching does improve flexibility.
I heard that south-eastern asians childern learn how to dance at the age of six, so that they have perfect muscle movement, no wonder how I can't bend my fingers back like that . . .

Prices are posted on a pole near the stage. It depens how many dancers, and maybe how long. Very reasonable, under 10$ and up....
