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.

Are private dance lessons worth it?

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

Siri helped me to design a bespoke daily workout routine, that can be done at home and without any equipment (stretches, body weight exercises etc). After trying it for a month, I feel more flexible, have more energy, and it has helped my strength in the gym. Siri also helped me learn yoga, which helps to decompress and relax after a long day at work. Would highly recommend!

“I saw immediate results in my first few weeks of training with Hollye and continuous improvement since. She’s got an incredible eye for areas that need increased focus or development and always pushes me to exceed my own expectations. Every time I think there’s no room to grow, she shows me a new technique or routine that reinvigorates my approach to fitness. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Hollye as we embark on year 4 of our journey.”
