A woman can dance in almost any type of clothing, but she’ll always feel more graceful when she’s wearing a beautiful dress that flows and swirls around her legs. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so what looks graceful and flowing to one woman won’t to the next. Fortunately, modern designers offer a wide array of special occasion dresses that are perfect for “cutting a rug” on the dance floor.

Go for bold and sexy in the Illusion Halter with Charmeuse Trim and Beading. This dress features a halter neckline that ties at the back of the neck, and the fabric there is Illusion for that seductive look that will have everyone looking twice. The empire waist flatters almost every body type and the skirt hem flirts with the knees as it swirls to the music. Available in elegant black or saucy red, this is a dress you’ll want to wear any time you hear the word “dance.”

If the occasion is a little more formal, you might want to choose the full-length Maxi Dress in Pleated Silky Knit. This is another dress that will suit most women with its empire waist, thin straps and flattering neckline. The black fabric gives just a hint of shimmer as you move around the dance floor on the arms of your partner, or when you kick up your heels on your own.

Imagine waltzing with a handsome partner when you are wearing the One-Shoulder Taffeta Ball Gown with Side Drape. This is one of the most flattering dresses you’ll ever own, with its head-turning one-shoulder bodice and A-line silhouette. The taffeta is iridescent in plum, and the skirt simply begs to swirl around the dance floor.

Of course, there’s no rule that says a full skirt is required on the dance floor. As long as the dress is comfortable and allows you to move, choose what you like. One fun option is the Short Strapless Stretch Satin Zebra Print Dress. Who would ever think that satin could move like it does in this flirty little dress? The black sash at the waist complements the exotic zebra print, and the strapless bodice and short skirt give it that youthful look that suits you so well.

Another playful dress is the Charmeuse Bubble Hem Floral Print Dress. The bubble hem of the skirt looks great swirling around your legs in this shorter length, its abstract floral print giving you a hip and trendy look. The bodice is solid gray to complement the teal, gray and white in the skirt, and the no-strap look is youthful and charming.

If you like the two-tone look in your dance dress, try on the Spaghetti Strap Silky Knit Sequin Dress that features ruching on the bodice and sequins on the skirt. The bodice is white with skinny straps while the short skirt is gleaming black and full enough to sway as you move. The fabric is beautiful and comfortable, and made for a youthful—but elegant—personality. It’s a fun dress with a sense of fashion smartness that you’ll reach for again and again.

If salsa dancing is part of the night’s festivities, the One-Shoulder Pick Up Skirt Dress with Drape Detail is the outfit to consider. With its combination of black and bubblegum colors, it’s an eye-catching dress in shakira fabric that will keep you comfortable all night. The one-shoulder bodice is in bubblegum pink and features draping at the shoulder. The black pick up skirt is cute, and fun, plus it moves great to those Latin beats, giving you the impetus to dance the night away.

If formal attire is required, you still have plenty of choices that also look great on the dance floor. The Portrait Collar Knit Dress with Lace Skirt is one of the most beautiful of those choices. The portrait collar gives you a graceful neckline above a black bodice that criss-crosses in a flattering fashion. The black lace with beading covers a pale lining that hugs your lower body in a slimming style.

Hemmed right at the knee, this dress will make your legs look fabulous as you walk confidently onto the dance floor, and you’ll feel elegant and graceful whether you’re dancing with your husband or your boss. No matter what the occasion, this dress will impress.Of course, chiffon may be the perfect fabric for any special occasion that features dancing. The fabric was created to flow around a woman’s body.

The Short Flowy Chiffon Dress with Crystal Beading will drape you beautifully whether you’re dancing the waltz or standing still. Beads and sequins adorn the unique neckline of this fully lined short dress. Available in white, it’s perfect for a wedding, reception, or an elegant night out on the town. If you want to shimmer, this is the dress for you.Pick one of these fabulous special occasion dresses, and you’ll have no trouble dancing the night away!
