What to wear to Ballet class ❤

As you may know I am a dancer, I take mainly Ballet but also Tap and Jazz. Even though this blog has been mainly about Instax I will hopefully do a few things on Dance also (My friend and I used to have a dance blog).Let me just start by saying I am very particular about what I wear for ballet, even though its not exactly what I should wear, I feel its the best option for me.

I came back from my summer intensive over 3 weeks ago and ballet will be starting back again soon so I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about what I think is appropriate class wear :)

Leotard: Any colour as long as the style suits you and its fits well. I love wearing colourful Leos but I don't like high cut leg-lines on me, they are lovely on some people but look terrible on me... which brings me to the next item

Skirt or shorts? : At the start of my summer intensive we are given a small talk on what classes will consist of and what we should wear. Well I thought I would be able to wear my usual stuff but then she told us just how much she HATES ballet skirts and booty shorts.... This was an issue for me. I am emotionally attached to my booty shorts. I know that lots of teachers don't like them but unless it is near an exam we are always allowed. I would choose shorts or plain black leggings over a skirt because they are more fitted but either are fine in my opinion.

Tights: Peach/Ballet pink. Maybe black, but I would never wear that. Never tan unless its an emergency.

Hair: At my intensive it was mentioned to my class that some of our buns were "MUCH too high!". This was referring to me. I like to wear my bun right on top of my head, sure, it looks ridiculous sometimes and people always make fun of me for it but it rarely falls down and its the most comfortable  place for me. So, put your bun wherever you want, as long as it is tightly off your face. Also folded ponytail "buns" do not count as a bun.

Shoes: Full sole for under 12s, but split sole for everyone else. I just think its much more flattering to the foot. I wear Grishko performance split-sole soft shoes and I love them! They are a slightly stretchy canvas and elasticated under the arch but I will talk more about them in a shoe review I'm hoping to do.

Extras: No t-shirts, a fitted sweater if you are cold. And no jewellery, bracelets brake your lines, and necklaces, rings and earrings can get easily and hurt you or another dancer.

I hope I haven't offended anyone. Please remember that this is just MY OPINION and always follow your schools dress code
I hope this helps ❤
