So, you have signed up for medal tests and you’re thinking, “Now what? What shoes do I get, what dress do I buy?”
Well, this blog is here to help you.
Shoes
Some ladies and gents have asked about shoes. Gents, don’t buy Latin shoes (the ones with the taller heel) just yet. Buy men’s ballroom shoes and make sure you have some black socks to match!
Ladies, try on different styles of Latin shoes and decide what works best for you. The width of your foot makes all the difference to the style that is most comfortable for you. Buy 2.5 inch or 2 inch shoes in a colour that you like, but which matches most of your outfits. Some girls opt for the flesh coloured shoes because they go with everything. Other girls like black shoes because they prefer darker clothing.
Clothing
The gents clothing regulations are quite restrictive. Men must wear:
• Black pants
• Black shoes and black socks
• White shirt
• Tie (choose a colour you like or the colour of your partner’s dress/skirt)
Gents, just like the ladies, no jewellery or make-up; and nothing shiny either!
Ladies, you are also restricted in what you are allowed to wear:
• Your skirt must be knee length and straight edged. It must not be patterned or sequenced
• Your top must also be plain but can be a different colour
• Girls can also wear dresses
• Please don’t show underwear (buy hotpants if necessary)
• We strongly suggest no strapless tops or dresses
• Ladies, please also leave your jewellery at home and ensure that you don’t wear excessive make-up.
Now that we have crushed your dreams of flashy outfits and stage make-up, we are free at lessons for any questions. If you would like an opinion on an outfit, please show it to us during medal test classes.
If anyone needs to borrow a skirt, please speak to us. We have some available for the expensive price of free.
Pictures: Look, its our super-human chairperson, Lara, and our heroic IT guy, Richard, showing off their medal tests outfits. Note the 2008 hairstyles. Groovy, baby!
