Salsa Dresses
Bright, colorful and flowing, salsa dresses are made with the salsa dance in mind.
You can buy costumes for salsa that come in a skirt and shirt combination, a jumpsuit, a short skirted dress or a long salsa dress.
These types of dresses need to move with you and with every gyration of your hips. Salsa dresses, for that reason, are often made of stretchable knit or Lycra, which hug the body and move during dancing.
The more Lycra one of these dresses has, the more likely they are to be stretchy and to move during the twirls and lifts so common in the salsa dance.
Salsa dresses are unique dresses. They can come in solids or in loud, floral prints and often have many ruffles in them.
If you buy a top and skirt combination, you will be paying more but you will get a lovely combo outfit out of both the skirt and shirt combination. There can be fringes on the skirt part of the dress or bright ruffles in contrasting colors.
Ideally, the dress you wear for salsa should complement or even match the outfit the man wears so it pays to buy them both out of the same catalog or the same website.
Make sure the dress or outfit is of a good fit. It it's too tight, you won't be able to get down on the floor for some fancy moves. If the dress is too loose, it will not hold together at the bust line and you could have a wardrobe malfunction.
Salsa clothes can be casual or ornate. Each dance club has its own dress code so you'll want to pay attention to that before you go out on a night on the town.
The fancier salsa clubs have the woman wear only a dress and the man wearing pants with or without a shirt. Salsa is a sexy dance so that shirtless men are often a part of the package.
Hats usually only get in the way and are not a part of good salsa wear.
You need to think about the environment in which you are dancing. Some salsa dance clubs use black lights and you'll want to wear bright clothing that lights up under such lights.
Don't wear white under dresses when wearing salsa dresses. The white will shine through even black dresses and will look embarrassing.
If the fabric is too sheer, you may be able to see everything underneath the dress as soon as the black light is turned on.
You'll need to wear matching, high heeled dancing shoes. Sneakers won't work out at most dance clubs and you won't get in the club. You can often buy the dance shoes to match the dress at an outlet store for salsa dresses, out of a catalog or on the internet.
Dresses for salsa are beautiful dresses that move with you and that allow you to make all the moves you want to make on the dance floor.
Buy a salsa dress that makes you look as beautiful as you feel doing salsa dancing.
