shadow dancing under a full moon

If you go shadow dancing make sure the moon is full.

When contemplating what to wear bear in mind that bright colours won’t work. Black is best, or silver like a strip of moonlight. A swirling cape or a beaded dress will add something to the mix, but it’s not really needed.

Soft shoes are best as shadow dancing is a quiet sport. Sneaking up on shadows, that’s what you’re aiming for.

And don’t forget to tread softly. Don’t step on the trees or the branches might creak and snap. If you do you’ll break the spell and that will be the last of shadow dancing, until the next full moon comes out to play.
