What to Wear
Clothing: whatever makes you feel good and allows you to move your arms up and around freely.
Footwear: wear shoes that hold your feet properly, which means avoid open toe and open heel (avoid sandals, slip ons, tip flops, bare feet or wedges). It is best to wear a shoe with a a bit of a heel that can make a little bit of sound. If not, a pair of sneakers should be enough.
