Dress Code
The Big Band Dance Club has established a dress code to maintain the standard of dress for ballroom dancing. The dress code is as follows: · Jeans are now permitted, but they must be well fitting and in good repair. · Shorts, tank tops, T-shirts, flip-flops or athletic shoes are not permitted on the dance floor. · If a first-time visitor does not comply with the dress code, he/she should be allowed into the dance and tactfully informed of the code by the Membership Director, or designee. Thereafter, a repeat offender will not be permitted to attend the dance. · Accessories such as large rings, bracelets, watches, brooches, loose/long necklaces, and large belt buckles can be hazardous on the dance floor. They can catch in your partner's clothing or scratch and bruise the skin. · Hats should be removed while dancing. · Outfits and accessories should be comfortable, safe, and also reflect the level of formality of the dance event. · The following are guidelines for what to wear to various events: o Regular events: Women usually wear cocktail dresses, and both women and men wear dressy casual attire. o Formal events: Dressy attire is recommended for both women and men or ball gowns for ladies and tuxedos for gentlemen. o Semi-formal events: Ties for men and dressy dresses for women. o Special theme events: Special theme events may involve costumes or other attire, which will be announced in the monthly club Newsletter and on the Special Events page of this website.
