Uniform and What to Wear
Keep getting ready for Hip Hop Simple, Easy and Convenient.
From your child's first trial class to regular training and performances, this guide explains exactly what they need.
Your Child Needs to Be Comfortable and Ready to Move.
Hip Hop involves grooves, footwork, choreography, Breaking foundations, Tricking and a wide range of movement.
Clothing and footwear should help your child move freely rather than get in the way.
Comfortable activewear and sneakers are perfect. If your child decides to continue with DFC, you can then move into the regular studio uniform.
What to Wear for a Trial Class
Use what your child already owns. The priority is comfort and freedom of movement.
Comfortable Top
A T-shirt or active top that allows your child to move freely is ideal.
Comfortable Bottoms
Shorts, leggings or trackpants are all suitable for a first class.
Sneakers
Choose supportive sneakers or joggers that fit securely and are comfortable to dance in.
Water Bottle
Bring a clearly named water bottle so your child can stay hydrated throughout class.

Joggers
Regular supportive joggers work well for Hip Hop training.

Avoid thongs, sandals, boots or shoes that may slip off or restrict movement.
Hair, Jewellery and Accessories
Keep anything that may distract, catch or interfere with movement to a minimum.
Long Hair
Tie long hair securely away from the face so your child can see clearly and move comfortably.
Jewellery

Students can bend, stretch, jump, groove and move freely.
Safety
Secure shoes, tied hair and suitable clothing reduce unnecessary distractions and hazards.
Focus
Children can concentrate on learning instead of adjusting clothing or accessories.
Belonging
