This isn't a thread about Ceroc au natural (sorry to disappoint). This has probably been discussed before, but hey I'm tired of listening to people bitch about aerials and dips :rofl:

The other day I was dancing with this girl and she is nice to dance with, I've danced with her lots of times before but I kept missing her hand and it all seemed a bit awkward on this occasion. Then I noticed she had this lovely top on with big dangly sleeves. I read here about someone getting their fingers caught in a big circle skirt. Bracelets and watches can also make problems. I wear a long sleeve shirt to keep my sweat to myself.

So it struck me that some clothing is useful, and some isn't. So, what's your advice on what to wear and what not to wear? Or do you have lucky dancing pants? C'mon it's first thing Monday, please make me laugh someone it's still hours before I can go dancing again :sad:

A borat style banana thong has caused me to come to grief whilst dancing on more than one occasion.

I have been fortunate enough to not have any embarassing stories of my own but would have to say have seen a few " I wish the ground would open up and swallow me moments":whistle: more to do with strapless tops or the ones with detachable straps lets just say a little bit more revealing than they had planned :really:(The trick to maintaining your dignity T*t tape :wink:)

I guess the other thing is no matter how great your spins are in that skirt seriously Bridget Jones Knickers are a must :whistle:


and for the guys the lunge and rip..........................priceless :rofl: :rofl:

Men should never never never wear shorts dancing - It may be hot in the hall but you won't be!

And I'll just add my grandad wore vests - Vests are Old bloke attire.

Wanna look like an old bloke (even if you have muscles) wear a vest!

I bet the girls love all that sweat dripping on them. Yummy

Yes, cut-away vests revealing sweaty underarm hair... like a little wet fur-ball, that can scatter the moisture at inapprpriate moments like a dog shaking itself :what: :sick:

I've never worn shorts but I'd consider it. Worn a kilt a couple of times and it's so much cooler with it on. As such you are more comfortable and sweat less. I might look like the most uncool person in the world but the usual male to female balance pretty much guarantees that I'll get dances anyway.


And I'll just add my grandad wore vests - Vests are Old bloke attire.

Tried one on in H&M (it was probably in the cool category too) and laughed for a while at how stupid I looked. Saying that there are definitely a few guys that can pull it off.

Again it keeps you cool, not sweating like crazy is a good thing.

As for what not to wear, I don't like dancing with women with studded belts on or tops that are basically painful to sweep your arm across. That's more to do with the fact that dancing shouldn't actually cause me pain.

Flouncy long sleeed tops are difficult to dance in - I discovered that on my first night.
I also discoered, when I worked at Jumpin Jaks that it's difficult to dance in Baggy Jeans, (cause I keep falling over them!) and can be downright painful to dance in Docs! (though I kept it up for 8 months!!)
And I'll probably add to the list of thos who are against the wearing of strapless tops for dancing - but only cause I've got nothing to hold one up!

Vests and tight tee-shirts on blokes aren't just a no-no on the dance floor - they're just downright despicable and should be banned everywhere but the Gay village!(cause only gay bokes can get that look right!) Even my Grandad doesn't wear vests!

I danced with a girl a couple of weeks back and I was in a sway with her when it dawned on me that the cold sequins I could feel under her cut away sleeve were actually beads of sweat dripping off her unshaved armpit. Last sway of that dance... and in fact the last dance I had with her!

Eughhh, get a razor if you want to go sleeveless :eek:

I quite often end a spin with my hand at waist level neatly inserted in the man's trouser pocket. I don't do it on purpose. Honest. Therefore, in my experience, I would say that men's trousers are inappropriate Ceroc wear.

I look forward to finding something interesting in a pocket one day!

a lot more obviously.. I would not be seen dead in a white shirt. a Black one.. perhaps, a white one? non !

I'm sure some people would say not to wear shirts that are too "busy" and although I do normally wear my bright multicoloured affairs I have noticed some followers getting confused and grabbing for a non existent hand (seriously)

One follower kept trying to do pretzels with me as she continually mistook the whitish splash of colour on my shirt near my left hip for my hand. I now still wear my colourful shirts, but I actually chose the "calmer" ones..

I would say that inappropriate footwear would be bets avoided. Stilletos for the ladies and boots for the guys. Hurts too much when you get trodden on.

No matter how many spins you did in the changing room, always wear boxers under your skirt, you never know how fast you are going to be spun.
I would never wear a strapless top to ceroc (I try to avoid them when clubbing) If there is even a minute chance I could fall out, I don't dance properly for fear of falling out. However straps are not always reliable as I found out at Nantwich before Xmas.

Cloaks/capes/long jackets are really hard to dance in (get tangled) I also find a loose open shirt (eg over the top of a T-shirt) gets a bit tangled too.

Top or other tall hats/head gear take a bit of care to dance in.

Doing leans or moves where the follower wraps round your legs should be avoided in combats or 'dangly' trousers.

In followers I disslike some of the sequin tops- they may look sparkley, but they scrape on the fore-arms and fingers. And if you've got buttons (ie a shirt) then be wary of getting too close to followers with dangly fringes to their dresses.

What do you people have against them? I get the sweat thing (though I'd assume part of the appeal in wearing such a thing is to try and reduce your sweat). I know this is a What Not to Wear thread but honestly, I think if a guy is comfortable in a vest (and shorts!) then he should go right ahead and wear them. They aren't actually causing you any discomfort, are they?

Personally it's the guys in black that do it for me. A bit more of a rugged look. I also really like it when the guy changes his look throughout the evening. :wink:

I try not to wear skirts that are too long as they tend to catch in my heels. Also big earing are a no no. As are watches, bracelets and necklaces that are too big and jingly.

Anyone who looks like they have made an effort is a bonus too. A clean shirt probably means a good wash or shower was had before dancing too. Always a good thing.

I had trouble dancing in a cat costume as people kept grabbing my tail as I was coming out of a spin thinking it was my hand ...

Under more normal circumstances - I never wear skirts, dresses or loose fitting tops as I tend to get turned upside down a lot. Worked the last one out the hard way! No earrings that anyone could get a finger through. No rings at all. My bracelets are tiny smooth beads on elastic so would just break rather than do any damage to anyone. Jeans I find too hot. No hair ornaments/clips which sit away from the head.

I have been guilty of dangly sleeves on a few occasions, but not regularly.

I have seen many, many unsuitable things being worn, from huge, long necklaces, to chunky rings, stiletto heeled mule sandals, and have even been subjected to a flared skirt with stockings and suspenders underneath!

I have a similar problem except that my right hand ends up in guys top pocket when exiting from a comb - it is not intentional but it can be quite funny depending on who it is.

I seem to do it with only a few dancers - I suppose it must be the angle that my arm comes out of the comb at. One guy I think enjoyed the novelty - because for a while every dance I had with him he put me into a couple of combs.

Not enough to be embarrassing, but enough for me to keep standing on the bottom of them so I had to keep pulling them up. I always opt for a (small) belt now.

I have a few tops and dresses that I don't wear dancing as they look nice, but the sparkly bits are too rough for my own or partners arms to rub against mid dance.

Jeans without belt hooks - I am fond of spinning the ladies by hooking the said belt hook. :wink:

The most important thing to remember about all this is not how you dress on the dance floor, but how well you move.

I tend to dress casually for freestyles now, as it does get particularly hot in some places, especially during the Blues Room at SP. I make about three shirt and T-shirt changes during the course of an evening there. It also helps to protect your good clothes.

A pair of dance sneakers at hand is also good to protect your normal shoes.

I've discovered that wearing a strapless wrap-around dress is NOT advisable :blush:

One of the ties to the dress got caught in the guys cufflinks whilst I was spinning and ehm my dress was on the floor. :blush:

Thanks to the nice gent who gave my his jacket, and the other man who picked up my dress for me :worthy:

Story of my life, things happens to me that just don't seem to happen to other people.

Like getting stuck upside down in a window........:whistle:

Ehm but back on topic, it must have been the man's fault. After all if something goes wrong in a dance, it's the guys fault, right?

Poor bloke was more embarrased than me, he was still rooted to the spot 5 min later :rofl:

... and if you're wearing non-black tights and doing aerials, horizontal with your legs spread towards the crowd, have a think about how the gusset looks. I remember a table full of us reeling at the last Canberra comp...

That made me think of the poor bloke I was dancing with on holiday in June, I slipped on the tiled floor and grabbed whatever I could on the way down..... Turned out to be his trousers which ended up around his ankles. He wasn't wearing any boxers............... :rofl:

Though he didnt seem to mind, he certainly wasnt short of female company for the rest of the trip

Seems as if getting naked on the dancefloor is a bit of a theme with you isn’t it?! :rofl:

I wore very flarey fisherman trousers on Saturday night, which produced a couple of very surprising incidence :blush:

For those who aren't familiar with them, they're kind of two half trousers, that wrap around at the waist, overlapping a lot but the split still goes right to the waist.

Anyway, two men got more than they bargained for, when they wrapped me in and their hands accidentally slipped in the flap! :really::eek::what::blush:

And back on topic - what not to wear!

A top with dangely bits and/or trousers with a loose hem

I have to admit that when I wear a comparatively long skirt, or a skirt with long bits (which may not be considered long if they were on someone taller than 5'2"), I make sure it has an elastic waistband so that WHEN it gets stepped on in a dip (as, sooner or later, it is), it will only cause a wardrobe malfunction, and not a rip. I can pull my skirt back up a little and keep dancing, I can't dance with a busted skirt. I also try to wear undies I don't mind people seeing :wink: I have a couple of pairs of undies with amusing slogans on for this reason.

It always amazes me how they manage to dance on "Strictly Come Dancing."

The ladies are done up to the nines, laden with earings, braclets, necklaces and (i think rings?)

Her dress is a deathtrap - lots of dangly bits - sleeves and fish tails etc.,

These dresses are specially designed - custom made.

Perhaps there is a special dancer designer secret that makes them easier to dance in than they look?

I wear a long sleeve shirt to keep my sweat to myself.

Aw - very considerate, but with long sleeves my (follower's) hand sometimes gets tangled up in that bit of fabric/hole which puffs out above the cuff - I'm not really sure how/why but it's happened more than once. Probably just me!!

I agree about big watches on people - you can get a really nasty scratch. My dance-pal wears a sweat band over his watch to prevent this, which is very considerate.

nebula
26th-November-2007, 02:26 PM
That is so considerate - maybe they should sell them at dance venues with a sort of "Please don't scratch your dance partner" moto with it...
