Nowadays, everybody agrees that the tails should reach the point where the circumference of the calf is the greatest.
9. Too much space between your spine and the back of the jacket
The jacket should follow your movement. Therefore if there is a big gap in the back area, you will see many wrinkles when twisting the trunk.
10. The trousers are too tight
If in Latin American dance we can see different styles, in standard wide end trousers are the go-to choice.. To give you an example, for a 180-185 cm height, the width at the very end of the trousers should be around 28-30 cm.
Having A Close Eye
When buying a tail suit or getting it custom made, always ask someone to check how it fits you, maybe your teacher or an expert dancer. You should control carefully that all the points listed above are suited for your body. Also, check the conditions of the fabric especially on the right side where most of the brushing against the girl’s dress happens.
Of course, a good dancer can show his best in any condition, but for the judge’s eye how you look, your style and the attention to the details is very important. In some cases, it can become the reason why he prefers you to others if the level is too similar. Always keep your tail suit looking its best!
