You might be wondering what you should wear when taking dance lessons. Above all BE COMFORTABLE! Keep in mind dancing is a workout, so you will want to wear clothes that are comfortable and not tight or constricting.

You will be working up a sweat, so dress in layers so you can adjust to the different temperatures. Women may prefer to wear a comfortable skirt or dress, but pants/jeans are also ok. Smooth soled shoes are important, especially when you are wanting to turn and perform spins. Flip flips, sneakers, slip on shoes are not a good idea for dancing. Stick to smooth soled high heels, or jazz shoes for the ladies. Men can do smooth soled dress shoes.
