Attire
Comfort and confidence are best. Wear what brings out the dancer in you, while maintaining safety for yourself and those around you. Ie: no large tutus or floor length skirts.
Here are some tips and resources for ballet specific attire, should you be interested.
Shoes
There are many brands of canvas and leather ballet slippers. Canvas split sole shoes are a popular choice due to their comfort and aesthetic. The best pair is the one that is the most comfortable. The shoe should be fitted but not so tight it leaves lines in the foot.
Ballet Skirts
Ballet skirts can be a fun accessory for class, you can find a range of lengths, sizes, colours and prices. They can add an element of elegance and comfort.
Leotards
It is helpful to note that bodysuit and leotard sizing runs smaller than most clothes and usually refers to the length of the torso. Ballet Rosa's leotards have fuller bottoms for those who prefer more coverage.
Tights
Ballet tights have more stretch than everyday tights and can come with the convertible feature where you can roll up the foot section, a useful feature.
