Don't worry! You have lots of options.
For hip hop costume footwear think flat soled shoes. Stay away from stylish sneakers that are bulky and heavy. To keep the girls and boys wearing the same uniform shoes check out these Chuck Taylors .
. How about this for the girls in your troupe:Start with a baggy singlet and use a crop top under it. If you are in a hip hop dance competition and want to use branding you can place your logo or your signature shapes across the chest.
For pants be sure to think baggy for the hip hop costume. Track pants make an easy option as well whether they are full length or three quarter length. Just be sure they are roomy enough for the dancers to move and stretch in to your song and choreography selection.
It's easier to select hip hop costumes for the guys but most outfits you select for the guys will actually work very well for the girls as well.
For the guys in your dance class using a baggie hoodie sweathirt is an easy choice. The baggy pants again are the always obvious hip hop outfit selection. Baggie cargo style pants and shorts are always a popular option.
Most hip hop dance students already have the necessary accessories in their closet. Just wearing a baseball hat with the correct attitude or a basic bandana is all you really need.
