Should You Buy Special Dancewear Before Starting Tango?

You don’t need to purchase any special attire or shoes before starting Argentine Tango classes. Feel free to join the classes in whatever you find comfortable, as you’ll be with a group of beginners. Don’t be concerned if instructors or assistant teachers are dressed up; they often choose their outfits to enhance their own comfort and performance. Like them, you can gradually decide on your own dancewear as you progress and develop your personal preferences.

How to Dress for Tango Class?

 

The most important thing about tango dresses for tango lessons is that it makes you comfortable while dancing tango. In other words, instead of wearing tight blue jeans, it will be sufficient to wear wide-cut trousers for men, flexible trousers or tight skirts for women. The situation is the same for tango shoes. The important thing is that you wear balanced and comfortable shoes that will not restrict the movement of your feet while learning tango.

How to Dress for Milongas and Tango Festivals

You have been attending classes for a while and now you feel ready to go to milongas. Maybe you went to milongas to watch people dancing even if you haven’t danced before. Here you will see men wearing loose trousers and women wearing different dresses or skirts than casual clothes. Almost all of them are stylish clothes that you are not used to seeing outside. So how are dancewear and regular clothes different?

What are the differences between dancewear and casual outfits?

 
 
 
 

The difference is huge for Tango Pants. Tango trousers offer you freedom in leg movements and a classic trouser elegance with their design. Tango trousers should not have the same pattern as casual clothing. While buying tango pants, it is important that it appeals to your taste as well as offers you comfort while dancing. For this, it may be important to heed the previous advice. For example, how can you dance tango in tango pants whose crotch is tight for you even when you are wearing them?

The situation is no different for women, it is important to be comfortable while dancing as well as being stylish. So your nightdress that turns you into a black swan for any event may not be suitable for milongas or tango festivals. What is not suitable?

Tango dresses are sewn from stretchy fabrics. Dresses that do not have stretchy structure limit and force you while you dance tango. I can’t think of a dance if you can’t feel free when dancing tango. Flexibility is an important detail if you want to choose from your daily outfits that are suitable for tango and wear them while dancing tango.

Another factor related to comfort is design. The tango skirt should have cuts that won’t catch on your feet or heels while dancing or should have the ideal length depending on the model of the tango skirt or tango dress. For the tango top, the design is important in terms of not slipping and keeping the original form while you dance tango. If you want to understand whether the designs of stylish clothes in your closet are suitable for tango, I can recommend you to wear them at home and do your dance exercises. This will give you a clue as to whether any of your evening wear is suitable for tango.

I think it is an enlightening article especially for those who are new to the Argentine Tango dance. If you have any suggestions for those who are new to tango, please leave in the comments.
