Outfit Guide: What To Wear To Dance Class
Wondering what to wear to dance class? It’s one of the most common questions beginners ask before their first session – especially in floorwork and sensual heels classes.
The short answer: anything you feel hot and confident in.
There’s no strict dress code, and dancers show up in everything from oversized tees and activewear to lingerie-style outfits. Kneepads are required for all FloorWerk classes, but heels are optional.
This guide covers some popular outfit choices for class, plus the secret to getting those ultimate booty jiggles!
Popular Outfit Options for Dance
There are lots of ways to style an outfit for dance class. Some dancers prefer something sporty and comfortable, while others enjoy dressing up and expressing their sensual side.
Activewear
Leggings, bike shorts, sports bras, and crops are always a great choice for comfort. Activewear is designed to stretch and move with your body, making it perfect for dancing and sliding around on the floor.
Oversized T-Shirts
An oversized baggy tee is a popular option. It’s comfy, relaxed, and easy to move in. Many dancers pair an oversized shirt with booty shorts or fishnet stockings underneath.
Pole Dance or Swimwear Sets
Cheeky bottoms, bralettes, and bikini-style tops are also common in sensual dance classes. These outfits let you mix and match colours and styles to create fun looks that match your dance vibe.
Bodysuits & One-Pieces
Bodysuits are another flattering favourite for sensual dance classes and are super easy to style with fishnet stockings or garters.
Lingerie
Some dancers love wearing lace, leather, or babydoll dresses. If you’ve got cute lingerie collecting dust in your drawer, heels classes might just be the perfect excuse to finally wear it!
Fishnets & Body Stockings
Fishnet stockings and mesh body stockings are a sexy accessory that can be layered under or over almost anything. They add texture to an outfit, help you feel a little less “naked,” and stockings can even help hide nude kneepads.
Themed Dance Classes: Dressing The Vibe
Some classes may occasionally have a fun, themed prop – like Valentines rose petals, a country routine with cowboy hats, or even UV lighting to make neon outfits GLOW.
Any props or themes will be noted on the class timetables so you can plan ahead, but you’re always encouraged to dress up to the vibe of each song!
Outfit Tip: Maximising Booty Jiggle
In sensual-style dance classes, you’ll often see moves like booty pops, shakes, and twerks.
This is where your outfit choice can really make a difference to your movement.
Loose-fitting booty shorts, fishnet shorts, or cheeky-cut bottoms allow your booty cheeks to move more freely, which helps create jiggle during twerking and shaking movements.
You can even make your own fishnet shorts from stockings – see these easy outfit hacks for dance class.
Tight, compressive fabrics like thick leggings can restrict that movement a bit more. That said, there will always be variations given in class, so you’ll be able to make any outfit work!
Wear What Makes You Feel Confident
Now you’ve got your outfit sorted, here’s a quick guide on which heels and kneepads to choose for your next floorwork class.
Whether you prefer modest, full-length coverage, or you’re 2mm away from nip-slipping out of your lingerie… you’ll never be over or underdressed at Minx Choreo classes.
