What do I bring/Wear for my first hip hop class?
Make sure to have on a pair of comfortable shoes and clothes. Jeans, T-shirt, sweatpants, are all okay. I would not recommend dress pants or dress shirts. Have a change of clothes prepared if you are coming to the studio from an office environment that requires more formal attire.
What are the best kind of shoes for hip hop dancing?
Shoes that are lightweight and don't leave marks on the floor. casual shoes like sneakers and canvas shoes work great. Dress shoes will be more difficult to dance in.
