Rating dress for ballroom dancing and training

The rating dress for ballroom dances (another name is BASIC) is the main costume designed for performances of dancers of various categories, including children. To the clothes serious demands are made with strict restrictions in the part of decorative elements. Therefore, the first available outfit should not be purchased, it is better to clarify all details from a professional.

What does a dress look like?

The main materials for the outfit of girls, called rating, are velvet and supplex. For adult dancers - chiffon, velvet, as well as guipure. Can be sewn up a belt or be present rigylin on the whole hem. It is possible to use, according to the requirements of the STDS (Union of Dance Sport of Russia), a rating dress for ballroom dances of combined type - with guipure inserts or an opaque basis of stretch leis, but only on top of the main material from which the outfit is made. Guipure covers the entire dress or its individual parts:

• Sleeves.
• Yoke.
• Skirt.

With such decorative elements, the outfit looks exquisite and luxurious, which can be seen in the photo. Dresses for ballroom dancing for girls should be monotonous, that is, all materials used for the outfit should not go beyond the same color.

What dress can be called rating

In order for judges to evaluate all participants objectively, and all applicants for the victory were on equal terms, special requirements for professional suits were introduced. A rating dress for ballroom dancing is one if:

• There is a traditional design - a swimsuit as a base with a skirt sewn on it at the waist.
• The skirt is in a fold, or 1/3 of a half-sun, or year.
• Sleeve - short, long, 3/4 or missing; "Flashlight" or straight.
• There is a traditional neck, providing 9 different variations of cut.
• The length of the skirt is about 10-15 cm above the knees.

What exactly it should be - show a photo. Dresses for ballroom dances of the allowed type, shown here - are acceptable variants of the costume of participants in the category "Children": a monotonous color scale, several versions of sleeves, a different neckline.

Possible decorative elements and limitations

Forbidden to use in rating dresses for the category "Children" any fabrics with a transparent and translucent backing. This includes, for example, panbarhat, guipure or lace. You can not have a suit containing trails, shiny stones, decorative belts, flounces, appliqués or details that do not harmonize with the dresses. In addition, outfits from fabrics with a flicker effect are excluded.

These rather strict requirements do not mean that the rating dress for ballroom dances for a small sportswoman should be plain and boring. There are some additions that you can use to decorate a costume:

• Cloth of lace or guipure, painted on an opaque base of the same color scheme as the fabric at the base of the entire outfit.
• Ability to choose any color.
• Several skirts, the length of one of which is smaller than the other.

Matching dresses mind dance

To date, there are quite a few manufacturers of costumes for such an interesting and spectacular sport as ballroom dancing. Dresses for girls from proven brands meet all the requirements of the Union. Therefore, when buying BASIC, you must look at the reputation of the brand of the dress you like.

Such domestic brands as "Solo Plus" or "Costume", whose founders are professional dancers, are popular. The costumes of these companies will not cause doubts among the members of the judging team for the following reasons:

• Fabric - practical and high-quality.
• The product is beautiful and comfortable surrounds the figure of the girl.
• The color scale is extensive.
• All products are delimited by age.

The rating dress involves the use of 2 children's dance programs: European and Latin American. Girls who have not reached the age of 9 perform 6 dances, which include:

1. Waltz (slow) and samba.
2. Quickstep and Jive.
3. Viennese waltz and cha-cha-cha.

Couples, each representative in which about 11 years, perform the same program, but with the addition of rumba and tango.

Standard requirements for juniors

Dance costume for older children involves spectacular dresses for ballroom dancing. Juniors perform their program in outfits that provide slightly less restrictions compared to the group "Children". For European dances it is also forbidden to use 2 different colors in BASIC. The color of the dress should be chosen depending on the appearance of the child, lighting in the dance hall. For blond girls warm shades will suit, it is not recommended to buy an orange dress for brunettes, as in bright artificial lighting the skin will look green.

For dances with a Latin American accent in the category "Juniors" everything is much simpler (if the dress is non-rating). The skirt can be more magnificent in its design, belts are allowed and no more than 2 shades in general.

Choice of color and style

As for flowers, the initial orientation should be the appearance of the dancer. Pink traditional color is suitable for almost everyone. In addition to girls prone to fatness. In this case, it is better to give preference to dark blue, emerald, violet or burgundy. To emphasize the expressiveness of the figure or face, the ideal dresses will be lilac and crimson colors.

The style should be strict, it is impossible, that the suit stood out with the decorative elements. The bottom part - panties - should not cause association with a bikini, all areas should be completely covered with an opaque cloth. The skirt is chosen, starting from a length of 10 cm above the knees, and the same along the entire perimeter (the length indicator). The upper part of the dress should also be made of opaque monophonic fabric.

Dance dresses for ballroom dancing can be freer in terms of choice of decorations and fabrics. You can use lace and nets. For the youngest group, "Juniors-1", different shades for costumes are allowed, except for shiny ones.
