Wondering what to wear to a dance convention? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
When I was a teenage girl, I was obsessed with joining dance conventions. I mean, who doesn’t?
That’s the golden chance to get together with all the professional teachers, skilled dancers, choreographers, and troupes.
Such a dream.
I still vividly remember how touched was I doing a group dance with 60 girls in the same room.
The energy, the vibes, the bonding—it just hits differently.
So yes ,ladies, if you are on the fence about whether you should join a dance convention or not, GO DO IT.
To lessen your burden, I’ve gathered 18 dance convention outfit ideas to make sure you have the best time.
Enjoy my loves!
1. Yoga Pants Dancewear Outfits
Choosing The aww-so-perfect dancewear is the hardest part of the whole dance convention fun.
So ladies, are you ready to see the effortless dance convention look that is equally comfortable and stylish?
Here is the trick: just pull out your basic yoga pants and pair them with a suitable top!
It can be a crop top, bra top, or an oversized t-shirt and you are all good to rock the dance floor and stun everyone with your dance moves.
PRO TIP:
Prioritize your comfort and avoid wearing itchy clothes.
Instead, go for the flexible and breathable fabric that allows you full body movement without tearing apart.

2. Dance Convention Hairdo Ideas
Are you looking for hairstyle ideas to wear at a dance convention? Well, we have got you covered.
Always opt for a sleek tied-up hairdo when attending a dance convention.
The open hair can hinder your dance session by shifting your focus to moving it away.
For girls who are having dancing competitions, make sure your hairstyle stays.
A romantic low messy bun or a braided hairstyle may not be the best look here.
As a girl with thin hair, I’d recommend the L’Oreal Extra strong hold hairspray for one reason – it STAYS.
Of course, if you are just here for the group dancing, most of the hairstyles will work.
When in doubt, achieve a tidy and put-together vibe while keeping your hair in place, away from your face.
PRO TIP:
Avoid wearing any jewelry, hair clips, or any other unnecessary accessories.
Excessive sweating during the dance session will tarnish the jewelry, making you more vulnerable to skin rashes.

Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
3. What to Pack for a Dance Convention?
Whether you are attending a dance convention outside the town or in the same city, there are a few things that you need to pack in your bag to bring along to the convention venue for an effective dance session.
These things are:
- NATIVE Deodorant (this one is aluminum free) to sweep off the sweat odor
- Gradient Water bottle to keep you hydrated (and in a good mood!)
- A small first aid kit, just in case
- Extra clothes to change into after the dance session
- Healthy snacks to keep energy levels in check.
- A Sweat towel
SIDE NOTE:
Don’t wear perfume – people won’t appreciate the mixed scent
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #3:Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️
4. Shoes To Wear To A Dance Convention
The type of shoes to wear at a dance convention entirely depends on the dance style.
Whether you go with ballet pumps, salsa shoes, hip-hop sneakers, or any other dancing shoe style, make sure they fit well and feel comfortable on your feet.
When in doubt, think the shoes that have cushioned heels and a great grip will work fine.
After all, no one wants to end up with foot inflammation and blisters only after their first dance at the convention.
Choose wisely, ladies!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol
5. What to Wear to a Square Dance?
If you are a true American, you must be familiar with a square dance party, where four couples dance a particular style in a square space.
If you are looking for some cute outfit inspiration to slay at your next square dance, you are certainly at the right place!
Any midi-length dress in bright with lots of flare and ruffles can be your go-to outfit for a square dance party or convention.
Lastly, do not forget to finish off your square dance look with some cute hair accessories and jewelry pieces.
PRO TIP:
Add some cute patterns like polka dots, plaids, and lace details to elevate your square dance outfit beyond measure.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
6. Socks Or No Socks?
Wearing socks with dancing shoes is a matter of choice, but it is highly recommended to wear socks with a few dancing shoe styles, such as hip-hop sneakers and ballet shoes.
However, some of the dance convention venues have a no-shoe policy with a fully carpeted floor.
In this situation wearing dancing socks becomes mandatory to ensure proper body movement while minimizing the risks of slips.
They provide strong heel support to avoid any serious sprain while giving a comfortable and snug feel.

Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!
