Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Ballroom ladies: most important and unavoidable is dance shoes. As fas as clothes goes:

For practce we wear and any comfortable decent-looking clothes. No jeans. Usually, I wear a stretchy top or a leotard and stretchy pants. Sometimes I wear skirts - short skirt for Latin and long skirt for Standard.

For competitions - depending on the level you are, you either wear something similar to your practice skirt and top but a little nicer, if you are a beginner. If you are more advanced ( Championship, Pre-Champoinship, and one stage before pre-champ it that is called Novice) you wear a costume that is a ballgown or a latin dress. That is if you are copmpeting as an amateur with an amateur partner. If you are competing with a professional partner (your teacher) you wear ballgown/latin costume right away. Costumes are usually heavily decorated with rinestones to make you shine and stand out. More advanced people wear flashier outfits.
