(Updated: 09.01.03) Costuming is by far one of the most important aspects of competitive dancing that requires serious attention. The first thing the judges see as you walk onto the floor, is your costuming. And as we all know, first impressions really count. As DanceSport competitors, you are not judged solely on technique; you are often judged on the complete package, or "look" that you've created as a couple. The "look" definitely improves with good technique i.e. good posture, togetherness as a couple, movement across the floor, etc. However, "the look" can aslo be enhanced by the image you portray through your costuming. What kind of image do you want to create? Sophistication... Elegance... Sensuality... Playfulness... Fun... Modern... Simplicity... Uniqueness... These are things you have to consider when planning your costuming. For the man, there really isn't too much variety. In Standard, black is the usual colour of choice. For Latin, there's a bit more variation, as the man can choose from various other colours and textures of fabric. For the lady, there are so many more decisions to be made. Ladies have numerous types and colours of fabrics to choose from, as well as endless styles of design. As in the mainstream fashion industry, it is important to keep up with the latest styles and trends, so that you don't look out-of-date.
