What type of clothes should I wear to a modern hip-hop dance class?

Question:I have done jazz dance before and the attire was pretty simple. However, I am just starting a hip-hop dance class and was wondering what to wear. I don't want to show up looking like I have no idea what I'm doing. I have read a few website regarding what to wear. However, I want to hear some advice from actual dancers who take hip-hop classes.

I'm on a hip-hop team and we were sweat shorts (like soffee shorts) and big T-shirts. Anything loose that you can move around in. I wouldn't show up in anything too fancy - you might be over-dressed. Your best bet would probaby be layers - wear a sports bra with a tank top, and throw a tshirt over that. Wear shorts with sweats over them. Then, no matter what the other people are wearing, you'll fit. And you can adjust your outfit to the temperature!

For shoes, I suggest just wearing Tennis Shoes (clean ones!) but bring your jazz shoes along - it really depends on the teacher. Don't go out and buy plit sole tennis shoes because your teacher might refer you to some.

Good luck! Hip hop is really fun. I'm sure you'll love it.

maybe some ufo pants and a t-shirt

HEy! I do dance too........
My idea is to buy:

1. Black pinstriped pants from WINNERS
2.Wear a white t-shirt-(short sleeve or sleeve-less)
3.A "baller" hat......just any "cool" hat that you think would look good.
4.White sneakers.

Not Expensive Is Best

P.S. watch some music videos to get more ideas

Shorts, t-shirt, tennis shoes... whatever you can move comfortably in.

Id' say baggie (not extremely) pants and a comfortable shirt where you can move around in.

Look at what they're wearing. It's essential that clothing wont be a problem for you to move in. Best of luck.

when i did hip-hop i would just wear like those warmups and like a tank top or something. to me its more about being comfortable and being able to movee.

what ever you wnt as long as its not jeans or anything really nice shorts tank top cami tshirt.........or you can as you teacher

jazz shoes

loose pants (black is usually recomended)

a tight-sh top (not something loose that will get in the way but something comfortable and easy to move around in.)
