 How
should I dress up for ballroom dancing in the Philippines?
WOMEN:
In the hotels, wear a party dress, though a long gown is the norm in some
hotels. In most other places, the casually chic clothes -- light weight
dress, slacks and blouse, leggings -- are fine. Make sure they're
comfortable and do not restrict your movements. Shoes should be suede- or
leather-soled, preferably with a closed toe and back, though many dancers
are comfortable with sandal-type heeled shoes.
MEN:
Slacks and a short- or long-sleeved shirt would be great. Coats are
required at most hotels though. Many outlets allow men to wear
dark-colored muscle shirts which look great for the Latin dances.
Sleeveless shirts are taboo everywhere. Shoes should be suede- or
leather-soled.
A
word on colognes: Please use cologne and perfume sparingly, and this
applies to both guests and DIs. No one likes a partner's scent to
overpower her own perfume, or stick to her hands.
Handy
things to bring to the ballroom: a fan, facial tissues or small towel,
baby powder, comb, and at least 2 changes of clothes and shoes.
