What to wear for Heels Class at Vega Dance Lab Portland:
- Feet: Heels (block heels or stilettos recommended, avoid wedges or excessively high heels for safety and stability). Those new to heels can start without and transition as they feel comfortable.
- Body: Wear clothing that makes you feel confident and allows for freedom of movement. Form-fitting bottoms are advisable to clearly see your lines and prevent fabric from hindering your movement. Think leggings, dance pants, or shorts paired with a comfortable top.
