What to Wear to Ballet / Lyrical / Contemporary / Jazz / Modern / Tap Class? (Adults and Teens)

When you turn up for your first class you probably won't have your own dancewear. It's best to arrive in black leggings and a black top (and/or shorts if you wish). The most important thing is that you feel comfortable. If you know the class you are joining has uniform then try and wear a similar colour. This way you might feel more like part of the group. If you don't know then it's best to go with black.

If you have exam uniform, but no class uniform, then it is wise to wear it for class. Then you can get used to the feel of it and save money!

If you are not required to wear uniform for your class, and do not take exams, then here are some suggestions of what to wear for class:

Shorts, Leggings, Tights and Jazz Pants
If you prefer to wear leggings you may be able to find them cheap on the high street. However, I find these slide down so I prefer the leggings specifically made for dancing. Suitable shorts, stirrup tights, leggings and dance tights are available in many places. I recommend you take a look here.
