                     Dress For Ballroom Dance 
Success!
Depending on the type of dance you are doing, and 
where you are doing it, you will need different 
costumes. For instance, if you are heading off to dance 
classes, you certainly wouldn't want to wear a formal 
gown.
  
Dressy Casual
This is the style 
of dress used 
for lessons, 
workshops and 
practicing. 
Comfortable 
slacks and solid-
colored shirts 
are best for 
men, while 
women can 
wear similar 
clothes, or a 
comfortable yet 
  attractive skirt 
and body suit 
combination.
Semi-Formal
You don't need to go 
all out for a semi-
formal event, but you 
do need to be well-
dressed. Women 
should wear evening 
or dinner dresses, 
and flared, flowing 
pants look lovely as 
well. Men should opt 
for dress slacks, a 
nice shirt and a tie, 
and maybe even a 
vest or sweater that 
 allows the tie to  
show.
Formal
Ladies should always wear a cocktail or evening gown to formal 
ballroom dance events. Men must wear a suit and tie, although 
this can be loosely interpreted to mean a sport coat instead of 
an actual suit).
  
Black Tie
Ball gowns are the 
dresses of choice of 
ladies for black tie 
ballroom dance 
events. Mens' attire 
consists of a black 
tuxedos with satin 
trim and 
cummerbunds, and 
bow ties. Ties need 
not be black, as the 
name would suggest. 
In fact, colorful ties 
are extremely 
  
popular.
White Tie
Gentlemen must wear 
black tailcoats and 
matching pants with 
ribbon, braid or satin 
trim. Also included in 
this ensemble is a white 
pique tie, white pique 
vest (single or double-
breasted), and a wing 
collar shirt. Optional, 
but really cool looking, 
are matching white 
gloves. Ladies always 
wear their fanciest ball 
  gowns, many of which 
are very sexy.
