I have been to many comps and I have never seen anyone wear a strapless dress. If the dress doesn't stay put, you can be pulled off the floor and told to change. I have a friend who was wearing a dress with one over -the -shoulder strap. The other side slipped down a little too low and the scrutineer told her to change. Look at ballroom dresses on ebay. There are a lot of choices and some very good prices. There is also the possibility of buying a used dress. As Clary said, you don't want to wear anything that screams 'newbie'.

You need to ASK what your instructor wants you in. If your dancing American Smooth some instructors don't want to see bare arms. I know some that require you to wear opera length gloves, but they had better not bag or bunch. If you have gontlets with a finger loop made, again they had better fit tight enough around your upper arm so as not to slip down.
