Equipment

The clothes you wear, the shoes you buy, the way your hair is, and just how you look in general is very important for dancing.

 

Most girls when they dance wear tights. They could either have tights that cover the foot or stirrups, which leave the heel and the front of the foot, are uncovered. They also wear leotards. They can either be worn under the tights of over depending on what look you are looking for. There are many different types of leotards. If you are larger then you should wear darker colors to make you look slimmer. If you are skinner then you can pull off lighter colors such as, pink and lighter purples. The tights should always match as well as being subdued tones. If you are tapping you will need to find a good tap shoe. The same goes for jazz and ballet.

 

 

 Most men wear tights and a T-shirt. Also a belt to keep the tights up. Both men and women can wear leggings or shorts if allowed as warm up clothes.

 

  You should keep your hair back, tight, and up out of your face. When dancing most people wear their hair in a bun or ponytail.
