Jazz is a form of dance as well as a great exercise for the body. In order to ease your dance moves, you should ensure that you are properly attired. Black jazz pants, for example, are popular for jazz dancers and you may want to get some of these before you begin your jazz lessons.

Is there any pre-requisite to become a jazz dancer? Not really, except for the interest that you may have. Certainly, if you are a ballet dancer (or you have danced ballet before), you may find it easier to grasp this dance. This is true for just about any type of dance that you may care to take up. Ballet can help set the foundation for every other dance, if you will. But this is optional rather than necessary, and a sincere interest or desire is really all it takes to begin.

Unlike ballet, attire for a jazz class is usually quite casual. Therefore, you have increased options. The rule is that your movements should never be restricted and that your body (including your limbs), can be seen clearly.

This means that baggy clothes are out and body hugging clothes that are stretchable are in. A leotard is a good idea, as are tights. ...
... Plain coloured, often black jazz pants are commonly worn as well. These can come in boot cuts or flare styles that do not restrict the ankles. Tank tops and T shirts are common too. Then of course, you need a pair of jazz shoes.

If possible, do consult with the teacher before you purchase your dance attire as they may have certain requirements or recommendations, especially when it comes to the shoes.

Your class probably begins with some warm-ups and followed by some stretches. There may be isolation exercises where only a part of the body moves while the rest stays still. As the class proceeds, you should be feeling energetic, as do your class-mates. In other words, everyone is feeling the energetic vibe.

Most of all when dancing enjoy yourself as much as possible. While technique may be important, your enjoyment should never be compromised as a consequence. After all, classes are regular and if you not get it right this lesson, you will do so as the lessons proceed. It is more about enjoying the class as a whole as opposed to focusing on a technique too much. Some even claim that as you enjoy yourself and adopt the 'whole' perspective, sub-areas like technique takes care of themselves.

Of course, you may want to have a good choice of jazz clothing. This brings variety and makes the dance altogether more fun. Believe it or not, jazz attire can be fashionable and if casual enough, can even be worn right from the class into the streets. Simply top up with a jacket if it feels a little chilly.

With the right clothes and attitude, taking up jazz can be lots of fun. Seen a pair of black jazz pants lately that you think will look good on you? Then what are waiting for - sign up for a jazz class today!
