What to Wear to Dance Classes in Kelowna

Starting dance classes in Kelowna or the Okanagan? The Movement Boutique is a local dancewear store here to help new dancers and parents find clothing and shoes for class.

Check your studio's dress code first

Before buying, ask your teacher about required clothing, colours and footwear. Studios and classes can have different dress codes. Bring your list when you visit so we can help you find the right items.

Common starting points

• Ballet: A leotard and tights are common, with ballet slippers in the style and colour your teacher requests. A skirt may be optional or part of the dress code.
• Jazz: Fitted dancewear is often used, with jazz shoes or the footwear specified by your teacher.
• Hip hop: Comfortable clothing you can move in and clean sneakers are often suitable, but check your teacher's requirements before shopping.

Get the fit right

Dance shoe sizing can vary by brand and style and may differ from everyday shoes. Check sizing information or ask us for fit help. Choose clothing that allows comfortable movement without needing constant adjustment.
