Zumba/Zumba Gold
Workout clothes are the best clothes to wear to allow freedom of movement. It is easy to burn at least 500 calories in one class so be sure to bring a water bottle, towel and an optional change of clothes. The best shoes to wear are dance fitness shoes (not necessarily dance sneakers which give little arch support), court shoes, or “aerobic” shoes. Wear shoes that do not have a lot of tread at the bottom, that are meant for medial/lateral/twisting motion and have some cushioning. Running shoes and cross-training shoes are not recommended as they only allow forward motion.

Teen/Adult Classes
Leotard (recommended), stretch pants or shorts, tight-fitting shirt or tank tops are permitted. Stomachs must be covered. Hair pulled out of face. Ballet or jazz shoes for Teen/Adult Ballet/Jazz. Tap shoes for Teen/Adult Tap.
