At the Fall for Dance, all the costumes perfectly corresponded to the specific type of music and dance, ensuring everything was in sync. Starting off with the Miami city ballet, the costumes were very traditional as they were wearing regular ballet clothing consisting of leotards and stockings. However, they were all very consistent with the purple and white theme and wore identical clothing, which added to the symmetry of the dance. As for the Vincent Mantsoe dance, the main dancer was wearing a very plain white shirt and traditional shorts resembling patterns from tribal clothing. He later removed the shirt, which added to the performance and emphasized his muscle movements. Third was the Trisha Brown company which only consisted of two dancers, who were also dressed identically. They were both wearing nude colored flowy clothing which made their clothes look like a part of their skin. This connected with the overall theme of the dance as it was very delicate and ominous at the same time. Last but not least, there was the Dorrance Dance company. The last performance was surprising because unlike all the other pieces, the dances weren’t dressed in an identical manner. Instead, everyone was wearing business casual clothing. The colors ranged from black and white to gray, which went along with the overall diversity of the dance.
