What to wear to a Bellydance class?

Any active attire will work. Leggings are great. You can wear a t-shirt, a racerback, a crop top or tank top. You can bring a hip scarf if you have any, but we also provide a hip scarf for those who do not have any. 😊 We do dance barefoot, but you can also wear ballet slippers, and some students like to wear socks during the class. Make sure to bring water to stay hydrated during the class.
