The etiquette of participating in foreign-related dances is quite particular, and you need to carefully understand and master it correctly:
The clothes and appearance must be beautiful and elegant. Because neat clothing can reflect people's politeness and spiritual outlook. If
it is a dance invited by foreigners, the dress requirements will usually be stated on the invitation, and the host's requirements should be respected when deciding to attend. Most people wear suits and evening gowns. Only formal dances held in Western countries require wearing a large dress or "tuxedo". But after all, the number of people wearing tuxedos at foreign-related events is very small. At present, according to our country's custom, in addition to casual clothes of various styles and colors, in many grand and formal occasions, we only wear dark-colored suits with good materials. If it is a hot party and the foreign host does not indicate that everyone should take off their clothes, the male guests cannot take off their outer clothes at will. When dancing, buttons should also be buttoned.
