Section II. 8. Competitor Attire for All Event Competitors
Generally speaking, “dance attire” or “costuming” should reflect the style and type of dance being performed and if not, may be reflected in your judge’s scores.
However, while one of the stated goals of IDP is “more dancing – less rules”, we have determined a few dance-attire/costuming rules that will be enforced:
- Clothing and footwear must be worn
- Any area that is normally covered by undergarments must be covered with non-see-through material, and private parts may not be displayed at any time
- Sponsorship labels are permitted on clothing
- Competitor identification number* must be visible on the Lead (Couples) or on the Amateur (Pro-Am)
- Follow the rules stated above for All Divisions
- Street attire is acceptable
- Follow the rules stated above for All Divisions
- Dress in a style appropriate to social/club dancing
- Follow the rules state above for All Divisions
- Dress in costuming reflective of the style and type of dance being performed
- Partner’s attire should be complimentary of the other partner’s attire
*Competitor Identification Number: A Competitor Identification Number (or “CID” for short) enables IDP to efficiently track competitor results. Therefore, each competitor will need to obtain a CID. (Note: Couples will display the Lead’s CID on the Lead during the competition; for Amateurs, the Am will display their own CID.) See Section III (Membership) for additional details.
