You know that moment before your first dance class, standing in front of your closet like — “Now what?”
Relax. You’re not alone.
People often think they need to look like pros right away, but here’s the truth: dance is for everyone.
And when we say everyone — we mean you, in your jeans, sneakers, and a big smile.
First of all – wear what you can move and breathe in
Forget Instagram-perfect outfits.
Wear something comfy, something that lets your skin breathe and your body move.
Dance isn’t a fashion show. But hey, if dressing up is your vibe — we love that too.
Koja garderoba je najbolja za ples?
At Tocoloro Dance Academy, here’s what works best for different styles:
Salsa & Bachata
🩳 Light pants, leggings, shorts
👚 Flowing tops or cotton t-shirts
🥾 Shoes with a smooth sole (like leather) or flexible sneakers
Kizomba
🌃 Relaxed but elegant clothes
🥿 Soft, comfortable shoes – connection is everything
Reparto / Reggaeton
🩰 Go street! Bright joggers, crop tops
👟 Sneakers only – low moves, high energy
Rumba Guaguancó
👗 Wide skirts and flowing shirts – traditional flair
🕺 Let the hips and shoulders do the talking!
And the shoes?
If you’re new — don’t buy dance shoes right away.
Start with soft-soled sneakers.
For ladies committed to dancing regularly, try low-heel, closed-back dance shoes.
For guys – clean, simple sneakers with smooth soles or beginner dance shoes.
First Class? Here’s a Few Extra Tips:
-
Bring an extra shirt (you will sweat!)
-
Stay hydrated – water is your best friend
-
Smile – it’s your best accessory

👉 And one thing no one tells you — but we will!
Since you’re dancing close with a partner, a quick shower before class or parties is priceless.
A bit of deodorant, a spritz of perfume, a clean shirt – trust us, everyone loves a fresh-smelling partner.
It’s not just hygiene — it’s respect. ❤️
To wrap it up…
Dance is your time to reconnect with yourself and others.
Wear what makes you feel alive.
Step into shoes that can handle a night of spinning.
And never forget — the best thing you can bring to class is your vibe.
See you on the dance floor. ❤️
