What to wear when you go dancing? This question has two answers! Depending on what you are dancing for you can either dress comfortably like a workout outfit, or get dressed up like you are about to go to a nice dinner! Again, comfort is key! Regardless of what you are wearing it should feel comfortable to move around in!
If you are dancing for a great workout we suggest ladies to wear leggings and a tank top or t-shirt. For gents some black slim dress pants or sweat pants work, as long as you don’t feel restricted in the legs! A t-shirt or a button down polo/shirt also works great!
If you are dancing for fun or as a date night you can dress up nicely with a dress or a top and skirt for the ladies, and for the gents a nice button down and dress pants is preferred! You don’t want to have to fidget around and experience uncomforted times during your lesson so make sure the fabric and feel of your outfit makes you confident and happy.
Regarding shoes, before purchasing real ballroom dance shoes a few suggestions we make is to wear…
For ladies: flats, low heel, light sneaker, booties, strapped wedges, or heels.
For Gents: loafers, light sneaker, or dress shoes.
With the group and private lessons we offer, we always want to make sure everyone we have a friendly and comfortable atmosphere! Regardless of what you wear, our goal at Imperial Ballroom is to make sure you have the best time learning how to dance!
