A unique Dress for a unique dance
Each dance is unique because they come from different parts of Mexico so reason stands that the costumes for these dances area also going to be unique from one another. You see for each state or time period there is a different costume. you can't only get one dress and dance in that dress for every dance because it wouldn't be historically correct. Each dance has special moves and styles and the dresses are made according to though styles. For example you can't dance a polka in a Jalisco dress because Jalisco dresses are long and heavy and the pion of a polka is to show off foot work and legs. So each dance was made with a diffent dress. Same goes for the men's costumes. while their costumes are similar, each one also correlates with a specific dance.
