Dance Costumes

I don't know about you but I absolutely hate it when I go to a dance competition and I see and amazing dance but the costume is absolutely ugly! This draws attention to what the dancers are wearing instead of the focus being on the dance. The costume is supposed to accentuate the dancers body and the way he or she moves throughout the dance. What the dancers wear is also supposed to help tell the story of the routine. The dancers should also look and feel confident in it. On the other hand the costume doesn't have to be over the top to win, but it does help sometimes. You could be an amazing dancer performing in a terrible costume and still do well, you just stand out more when your costume adds to the dance. You'll always be remembered by your dancing and even more with a great costume. I have experienced having to wear a costume I did not believe was the best choice for the routine. I can tell you I did not enjoy it. But no matter what, your choreographer has the final say in what you wear. So sometimes we have to suck it up and dance through it. Here are some great dance costume magazines that have amazing costumes.
