Why do you need a ballroom dance dress

Why do you need a ballroom dance dress

Some couples decide not to bother with their dance costumes for competition at all. I’ve noticed people wearing their disco party clothes or evening gowns instead of ballroom competition dresses at ballroom competition. To some extent it makes sense of course. You might not even be sure if you are going to continue dancing at all. Why buy a competition ballroom dress to leave it dust in your closet afterwards? However, I don’t think it’s really a good option. Mainly for the reason you are unlikely to feel comfortable wearing these clothes. Party and evening dresses are often made of a non-stretchy fabric that is not suited for ballroom dancing.

The ballroom competition costumes are specifically designed to show off the ballroom movements and positions to best advantage. Long full skirts in smooth/standard dances accentuate the gliding movements of the dancer, while fringed or ripped skirts show off the hip work and fast movements in Latin. The regular evening dress simply wouldn’t make the same impression. The second reason you should consider your looks seriously is that despite everything the judges and teachers say – ballroom dancing is quite a subjective sport. It’s important for you to stand out on the dance floor. And a good ballroom costume is one of the factors that will help you do so. 

Dresses that will make you stand out and look more professional.

The right ballroom dancing dress could be the difference between coming first in a competition and not even appearing in the runner up spots. It will make dancing more comfortable and underline body movement than any other regular dress. Moreover, ballroom dancing has a specific dress code particularly if you regularly participate in competitions. While you could get away with a simple dress for practice, you will need a more sophisticated dress design with rhinestones and decorations to improve your chances of winning a competition. We answer the most common questions on what to wear in what competition, differences between Recreational and Dancesport Competitor ballroom dancing dresses, and how to choose your rhinestones for maximum effect. 

If you haven’t been taking part in dance shows or stage performances before, choosing your first ballroom competition dress might turn to be a challenging task. Most probably you are not ready to spend a fortune on your first competition costume, you are also not sure what color or design to choose, you might not even know where to buy a dress for dance competitions at all. Still, this is your first big show and you want to look great and be the queen of the ball.
