A lot of folks say "Hey Joyce...What do I wear to Tap Class?" Well Tap shoes...duh. But then there's all that other stuff for legs and shoulders and stuff that's important too. And some classes are pretty formal-ish, like Ballet. But then others range from Flashdancing Cats to virtually Xanadu-esque...sans roller skates. We could go on and on, but to make a long story short (too late!), check out this handy graphic.
