What to wear for dance classes
Generally we recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing with room to move for warm-up exercises and dancing. Full skirts, loose or stretch trousers, and shorts are fine. Narrow or full-length skirts and tight or low-slung trousers are not recommended.
Shoes - You may have suitable street shoes to try a class in before buying new dance shoes. Bare feet, joggers or comfortable, light street shoes may be suitable if that's what you're used to. High heels, rubber or heavy-soled shoes or boots are not appropriate. When buying dance shoes, we recommend that you get advice about fitting, and try them on first, to ensure your safety and comfort.
