Can I jazz dance barefoot?

Yes, just make sure your teacher is okay with it. Dancing barefoot is a great way to build up your calluses.

Question

Can I wear sport leggings to dance class?

Community Answer

It really depends on your dance studio's dress code. Sport leggings can be comfy and supportive, yet they usually become hot and sticky during the lesson. Generally it is better to dance in short, tight fitting clothes to allow the dance teacher to see your body positions and allow your body to breathe.

Wear yoga pants, a sports bra, a loose shirt, jazz shoes, and put your hair in a ponytail/bun/braid. Sports shorts also work.

Question

It is my first class tomorrow and I REALLY don't want to mess this up, I'm up way too late researching so do I just wear a sports bra (tight crop top), a loose shirt and some leggings for shorts?

Community Answer

That would be fine, but the loose shirt might not get past the teacher. They like tight fitting clothes to see your lines if you are doing anything wrong.

Question

Could I wear booty shorts?

Cecilia Flores

Top Answerer

This depends on your studio and their dress code. My studio allows me to wear a leotard, tights, and booty shorts/spandex if they're worn over the tights. Ask your teacher about it.

Question

I usually wear a bra and booty shorts to my competition jazz dance class. It’s usually warm where I live. Today it is 40 degrees and raining. What do I wear?

Community Answer

Wear the same things but when you go outside, put on some fleece joggers and a jacket that will keep you warm. Once you get to class, take the joggers and jacket off and tuck it in your dance bag.

Question

Can you wear a grey crop long sleeve top and grey hight waisted cotton leggings, bare feet and a low bun?

Imani Iverson

Community Answer

Possibly, but it depends on the class or dance school rules. Be aware that some teachers require turners or jazz shoes. Cotton leggings will work, but make sure that they can stretch because some kinds just rip.

Question

It's my first jazz class, can I wear leggings and a loose sweatshirt?

Lilah SmitsvanOyen

Community Answer

Yes, leggings work great but make a shirt to wear a fitted tank top or sports bra underneath, just in case you teacher tells you to remove the sweatshirt.
