Dancing and jacket removal??

[weatherman46]

Please can someone tell me if men are allowed to take their jackets off when dancing on both formal nights and smart casual nights??

Jackets and dancing

 

 

The ships are well air conditioned but I have seen plenty of men dancing without jackets on both formal and informal nights.

If we are talking about Ballroom,Latin or Sequence, some do but the majority wouldn't even dream to. If a guy really wants to 'look the part' on the dance floor, even if their feet don't know in which direction they should be going ...better to keep a jacket on ;)

 

 

Party nights, G32 and Deck Parties ......well anything goes :D

I've seen it, but usually in G32. Most of the ball rooms were well A/C. The dancers were a bit more subdued than in G32 & didn't get too sweaty.

Thank you for the replies.

Having read though the other threads on this matter, I have decided I will take my jacket off if I am too warm or if the dance is something fast such as jive.

We found crossing the Indian Ocean on occasions, the a/c has REALLY struggled to keep temperatures down.

Many dancers chose to wear a tuxedo vest/waistcoat so that they can maintain their "formal" appearance when they remove their tuxedo jacket.

Er, yes Bell Boy...

 

 

However, I will confess to removing my jacket once on QM2. It was a fast Cha Cha Cha plus I wanted to show off my latest 'formal' shirt.

While chatting to a waitress in the bar outside the dining room, she said that they are strict about dress rules in the bars and restaurants but do not expect gentlemen to keep their jackets on in the Queen's Room when dancing.

Fantasy, I recall someone a while back commenting about dancing with someone in a sweat-soaked jacket being unpleasant, was that you?

[fantasy51]

No, Bob, it wasn't me. It hasn't happened to me yet.

One should be very careful about doing this sort of thing, it is precisely how the Chippendales got started.
