You have got your perfect Latin dance costume with Steps & Threads, now getting yourself ready to look tanned is a tradition for any Latin and ballroom dancers in competitions and performances. It makes your muscle more toned, visually wilder and sexier with your dance move.
To get a good tan for the dance competition or performance, start your tanning process two days before your competitions.
Buy yourself a self-tanning spray, gently rub one layer all over your body or the areas that will be exposed after putting your dance outfit on.
If the skin on your elbows and armpit areas are naturally a little darker than the rest of your body, you may consider applying a layer of body lotion on these areas before putting the tanning product on top.
There is no need to put the self-tanning spray on your hands and fingers.
Let it sit for a few minutes before putting your clothes on.
When sleeping at night, it’s recommended to put a tower on top of your bedsheet, especially if yours is a white one. Alternatively, wear pyjamas with long sleeves and long pants.
Repeat the same for the second day.
On the day of your Latin and ballroom dancing competition, put a thick layer of instant tan evenly on the body. This time, make sure you spread it evenly on your hands and fingers.
You can either buy shimmers separately and put it on top after the last layer of instant tan, or there are instant tan lotions that have shimmer in them already.
Do remember to put the tan on your neck and the back of your ears. However, there is no need to put the tan on your face. The make-up artists will do their magic to match the color on your body.
Now with your perfectly tanned Latino skin, and the perfectly fitted custom made Latin costume made by Steps & Threads, you are ready to shine on the dance floor.
