to all men...
BLACK DANCE SHOES, DO NOT GO WITH SHORTS!
Neither do sandals with socks, formal brown shoes or boots!
If you 'have to' wear shorts, make sure they are LONG and you wear Deck shoes, plimsoles or sneakers
and lots of deodorant!

Agreeing with all the above!
perhaps it's just me as a ceroc outsider but a thread about dress sense on a ceroc forum is a little ironic. I mean, what passes for acceptable attire , from BOTH male and female dancers boggles the mind.
Just go to any party event to see a bewildering array of outfits that wouldn't look out of place on a Cuban Drug dealer/pimp or a lady of ill repute from the seedier side of Downtown NY !
Whilst fully in agreement with your main premise I have to exclaim:
Oh Lory Dory, I really do hate long baggy shorts (Bermudas they used to call them) - especially those flavour of the moment combat versions with copious floppy pockets. Almost without exception they serve only to reveal the most unappetisingly pallid sticklike nether limbs, often with a simianesque covering of black hair. Ugh.
(It's a bit like jogging - the most unlikely people do it.)
I do wish I were young enough and bold enough to turn up in proper short shorts of the type I sported in days gone by. Year round cycling ensured good definition and a healthy tan. And, yes, I did have a pair of those ballet inspired racing shorts as well - but that would be going too far.
No, don't. In the long term you'll wreck your knees. Stone coloured lightweight dance shoes are available and short socks can be worn with short shorts.
(Somewhere I have a photo of me in my tennis outfit - not that I ever played more than once.)
No, please don't, it still looks pants.
I think what Lory was suggesting was the type of sneakers that are actually dance shoes with suede soles (like Aris Allen sells), or those shoes above with stick on suede/leather soles.
Middle aged men in skin tight shorts????
Even as a bloke I find this a little off-putting.
As an aside what shoes are the most appropriate? I have worn the same black and whites with a wooden heel for 12 years.
I am with Lory on this one

As to shorts... from the land of shorts and vest tops...
A quote from the dance co web site... Gold Coast Aussie.
"So, don't wear shorts (shorts and dancing is a bad look guys), avoid joggers (they'll stick you to the floor, avoid sleeveless shirts guys as the girls don't want your bare armpit in their face."
They tell it true in the land of the kangaroo...
