Appropriate dancewear for Ballet Classes
Women: Pink canvas - split sole ballet shoes, round neck short sleeved or tank leotard in black, pink tights with the opening for footed and or footless wearing. Ladies must carefully consider their support bras so that the best possible line can be presented for esthetic concerns during classes. Dancers may cover up with any manner of sweatpants and tops or jazz pants and or knitwear legwarmers and sweater tops in any color of choice. We just need to be down to the leotard and tights layer so as to properly see the architecture of ballet as you perfect your practice.
Men: White canvas - split sole ballet shoes, white tee shirt worn out ok, black mens tights, black men's dance belt. The dance belt will provide you with proper carriage and esthetic body lines while in class and on stage. Your basketball athletic supporter is not firm enough and not does it give you handsome body lines.
