#The best Lululemon dance apparel loved by pro choreographers

It’s time to get movin’ to dance class — and to lululemon to shop some of the best dance apparel for your ballet, hip-hop, jazz, lyrical and other types of training.

While busting a move is easy, knowing exactly what to wear to class, rehearsals or performances can be tricky.

Here to recommend the best styles and types of outfits to wear to dance is Janelle Ginestra, a 12-year professional choreographer based in LA.

She booked her first world tour at just 22 years old with Pink and continued to work with Jennifer Lopez and Nicki Minaj as well as a few movies and shows. Now, she runs Naughty Girl Fitness, a boutique-style platform with more than 100 dance workouts to top hits.

“Dance is my church — it’s the healing and therapy to my body,” Ginestra told The Post. “Through the sweat, power and mindfulness, you can tell many stories without speaking and simply speaking with your body.”

Ginestra has been enrolled in dance classes since she was two years old, moving her feet from tap and jazz to ballet and hip hop. She provides an overview of the best dance apparel to shop for some of the most popular types of dance:

• Tap: “Anything comfy that you can feel yourself in and move in,” she recommends.
• Jazz: “The tighter, the better — leggings and a T-shirt to see the shapes and lines of your body,” she said.
• Ballet: “Usually form-fitting clothing, like tights and leotards,” she said.
• Hip-hop: “Sweats and baggy t-shirts make you ‘feel’ more the part,” she said. “Your movements look fluid and bigger, too.”
• Contemporary/lyrical: “Flowy clothes complement the movement of contemporary,” she said. “A cut-off spiritual pant and basic t-shirt are great.”

And, the most important thing to note when selecting dance apparel is how the pieces — whether it’s a pair of shorts or a printed sports bra — make you feel. Certainly, style is a personal preference and Ginestra says she’s able to “express, feel and connect” to her environment when she’s in the right outfit.

“Finding your style that makes you an individual is important,” Ginestra adds. “We do have a ‘dancer’ look, but don’t be afraid to bring you to that.”
