I'll bet a Google search would clear up your doubts.

In fact, it turns out that what you wear apparently makes *no difference*.

A couple of my classmates were entered for an event, but due to an 
injury they weren't going to do it. Five minutes before the event, they 
changed their minds, and just walked on wearing whatever random clothes 
they happened to have on. Didn't even have dance shoes. This apparently 
made no difference to their scoring.

Worth it...


fancy costume for their kids. Or WTF the *adults* typically spend on 
theirs!)

It strikes me that it would be nearly impossible to assert this without 
having them perform twice, once with the 'random clothes' and once with 
their 'dance clothes'.

But then, you can't keep the same juges. Ther first impression will 
affect the second notes.

True, unless they have no way of knowing who the performers are.  Maybe 
the performers need to wear masks.
