Latin and rhythm dresses
During Latin dance competitions, it’s important to impress the judges and the audience visually, as well as in skill. To do this, dancers must pick the perfect dress for Latin American dancing that makes it easy to dance in and is also visually appealing. Latin dresses vary in length but usually go to the knees. They can have open and closed backs and can be sleeveless or have long sleeves. A fringe is one of the most popular decorations in Latin dancewear and emphasizes the movements of the dancer. These dresses may also have drapes and floats, abstract or floral prints, feathers, fur, sequins, slits, and most often, crystals and an empire waist.
Ballroom and standard dresses
To make sure the dance movements are fluid and beautiful to look at, ballroom dance dresses must provide the right requirements to make it easy to dance in as well as visually appealing. Ballroom dance dresses are usually long, almost floor-length, often with long sleeves or sleeveless, open or closed backs, vibrant or simple colors, and may have intricate and sparkling patterns adorned with crystals, sequins, and pearls. Ballroom dance dresses may also have fur to decorate the ends of sleeves or at the chest.
