What should I wear to a dance class?

Most dance classes are casual and focus more on comfort and form than style. What you wear to a dance class depends on the dance type:

Ballet and jazz require form-fitting clothes so your form and posture is visible.
Wear loose, comfortable clothes and shoes to contemporary or street classes.
Wear fitness or leisure clothes and tap shoes to tap dance lessons.
Wear casual clothes, smooth-soled shoes, or dresses to ballroom, tango, or salsa classes.

Feel more comfortable one-on-one instead of in groups
Want direct feedback on technique
Need a class that conforms to your schedule

Jim is a wonderful dance instructor! He has been teaching our class of middle schoolers, high schoolers, and parents, over the past few years. He has taught us ballroom foxtrot, east coast swing, merengue, salsa, bachata, and cha cha. Jim is kind and thorough, offering guidance and feedback as we practice. All our students and parents feel very confident with the moves Jim has taught us for the different types of dances. Thank you!

I started sessions with Krizia and had no prior experience. She lead me through basic principles from a lady point of view. I found in ballroom dancing a hobby, mental and physical activity and a way to socialize. It’s a great way to challenge my self to improve . I would definitely recommend her.

I loved my lesson with Stefan. I wanted to learn to dance salsa and cha cha and all the other dances for so long and I am so happy to finally do it. Stefan was great, I had so much fun at the lesson and he actually made it look so easy, the time went by so fast and so entertaining. I am so grateful to have met him and can't wait to dance with him again. Stefan is such a professional and experienced teacher, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody, at whatever level or age you are. It is never too early or late to dance!
