In competitive dance, the primary focus is to dance and win. During competition, dancers perform in front of judges who evaluate their efforts and rank them. The ranks awarded by different judges are combined into a final ranking, and medals or trophies are awarded accordingly. In order to totally impress a judge, not only is your performance important, but also what you wear.

There are companies that specialize in making custom costumes for competition dance - beautiful costumes made with quality fabrics and accents. There are different costume requirements required for different competitions. The most popular competition is ballroom dancing.

In ballroom dancing competition, men are expected to ear a white dress shirt and tie or a tuxedo shirt and black bow tie. Pants should be dress black slacks or tux pants and accessories should include a black best or buttoned sweater. If the competition is Latin or Rhythm dance, the shirt should be black and long-sleeved. Pants once again should be black with a shiny belt to attract attention to the hips.

For the standard ballroom dance competition, women should wear an angle length skirt or a winged gown with large, feathered skirts. Accessories should include elegant jewelry like a pearl necklace and glittery earrings. In Latin rhythm competition, a woman generally wears a bright, festive costume with lots of sequins and stones. Large glittery earrings and nude or flesh-tone nylons are a must.

Whatever you choose to wear for your dance competition, the clothing should be comfortable and functional as well as stylish.
