There are many categories of dance clothes. Different styles of dance have different requirements for the necessary wear. However, nearly every dance form will require comfortable attire.
One of the most basic pieces of dance clothing is the leotard. These garments are generally made from a lightweight, stretchy material like Lycra or spandex. They are designed to be tight-fitting so that they move with the body rather than around it. The leotard commonly comes in short and long sleeve varieties and is the standard workout outfit for ballet and many forms of modern dance.
Dresses and skirts are common articles of dance clothes. These items are made to be lightweight and to flow around the body as it moves. Dance skirts are usually made from Lycra, nylon, cotton, or any combination of the three. They come in a myriad of styles from the classic tutu to more contemporary designs like the camisole empire dress. Most professional dancers will have a large selection of these outfits in their closet.
Shoes vary quite a bit, depending on the style of dance. Ballet shoes are designed to fit tightly to the foot and are often made from very soft leather. They are lightweight and very flexible in design. Also called ballet slippers, these shoes are generally inexpensive.
Ballroom dance shoes are designed to look like those you would find in a formal dress setting. Again, they are generally lightweight and flexible, but are designed to offer more support than ballet shoes. Women's ballroom shoes often have a taller heel, much like typical dress shoes.
Men's dance clothes are usually much simpler in design than women's dancewear. In most cases it consists of nothing more than a pair of tights and a fitted t-shirt. Exceptions include when specific costumes for all dancers are necessary for choreographed performances. Jazz pants are also available and these items are often popular because they are looser fitting, akin to sweat pants.
