JAZZ

Most jazz dancers wear tights and a leotard. The tightness of the outfit makes it easier to
perform certain moves. If you are not comfortable with wearing something so tight, you can
look into wearing jazz pants. Jazz pants are similar to sweat pants, except they are lighter and a
little tighter. These pants come in varies lengths and colors.
Other dancers like to wear a simple camisole over a leotard along with a pair of soft shorts. If
you are allowed to wear whatever you want, then make sure you are comfortable. You want to
be able to move freely in whatever you are wearing.
Most teachers prefer you to wear them. However, there are many different styles of these in
the market, so you can get the ones that fit best for you. Jazz shoes are like ballet slippers
except jazz shoes have a small heel. They are normally black or tan in color. They can be found
in full and split-soles.
