What should I wear for a belly dancing class?

What should I wear to my hip hop dance class?

  • Tonight is my first hip hop dance class. I have no clue what to wear. I've been dancing for a long time, but never in this style. I do have a lot of dance clothing, but don't know the appropriate attire for hip hop. Please answer with any suggestions you have for what I should wear! Thank you (:

  • Answer:

    These answers are WRONG. •NEVER wear jeans to ANY dance class. They will kick you out. For real! •Leggings and sequins and sparkles are a no-no. Nobody will stop you, but you will look weird (in a bad way) wearing sparkles and sequins; and leggings aren't loose enough. •Tight clothes aren't a good idea either. Your top can be tight but your bottoms shouldn't. I suggest you wear a tee (loose or tight, doesn't matter) or a wifebeater for the top. Bottoms: basketball shorts, sweats, or long cotton pants. Nothing short, but nothing too baggy either; and especially no tight bottoms! Shoes: tennis shoes or skater shoes (you know, Vans, Nike, Converse, etc.). NOT your street shoes. You can also wear a hat if you want, but some places don't allow them. Also, it's a good idea to put your hair up and bring an iced/cold water bottle because no matter what level you are in in hip hop dance, you're gonna sweat like hell, and putting your hair in a ponytail is only gonna help you see better when you're dancing (if you're in beginning, don't worry about putting your hair up. The higher level you're going in, the better off you are with your hair up in a ponytail or whatever). The water bottle will help you chill. Also, bring an extra change of clothes--trust me, I made that mistake once. That person who said to dress hip hop-like is WAY off. Just because some hip hop dancers wear baggy jeans, caps, and loose tees doesn't mean that's what you wear to practice. And, just to remind you again, JEANS IN ANY DANCE CLASS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED BY RULES/GUIDELINES OF DANCE STUDIOS--ANYWHERE! Anyway, usually dance studios have rules and guidelines on what to wear; you should visit their website or give them a call or visit. Hope I helped! ♥, MiMi

okay DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY OF THESE ANSWERS.! just wear some tight yoga sweats and a tank top. youL be comfortable and tight clothes will help to be able to see the way your body moves that way if u make a mistake, your teacher can correct you. and wear some tight sneakers,(i suggest PUMAS) or even jazz shoes might help too. dont be nervous and have fun with it ;D

dont worry about it, everyones looking at your moves not your clothes. i do a variety of dance classes but what you would wear to ballet is different to hip hop. when i do hip hop i tent to wear tracksuit bottoms, or shorts with a loose top sometimes cropped. also i wouldnt wear jazz shoes or anything like that, wear trainers, alot of the leg movements consist of a flexed foot and it looks far better when wearing trainers.

I might reccomend going for a slight gangster look but still make you look like you, ya know, a nice hat, a cool shirt, jeans that will fit you..........Ya know, appropiate and fitting to the hiphop theme/genure.............Try to stay away from wearing anything hardcore

i will say black leggings and a sparkly or sequiny shirt i always see people that do hip hop or dance

jessieeeeeee

A class ? .... You should go in a Tutu. That would be a conversation starter. LOL

Move on
