This is a guide on how ballet students should prepare before every ballet class
What to wear?
A lot of parents are wondering what to buy for a ballet class, well this article will help you find out everything you need to know.
Let's start with clothing, every girl is wearing a leotard with a ballet skirt or without, some tights or socks, if it's summer (depants on the high temperature), ballet shoes, and one of the most important, is how parents should prepare their kid's hair correctly before the class.
Tip #1 - Leotard
Leotards can be with or without a ballet skirt. Usually, at younger ages teachers don't mind the skirt, bus as the kids become to that age where they're really focusing on the technic then some teachers prefer the kids without the skirt. Overall you should also ask the teacher or the school they are attending just to be sure.
Tip #2 - Tights
Ballet tights are always light pink, as in the picture. for younger kids, they're normal tights, but for older kids, they are a bit different because as they start practicing pointe shoes, they need easy access to their toes, so they created tights with whole under the feet, near the toes.
Tip #3 - ballet shoes
Ballet shoes are very important, the right size of the shoe plays a serious role in their class. When you are trying on the shoes you should pay attention to how much space there is behind them, it should be bigger than one finger, not be exactly their size. they should be able to do releve(stand on their toes) without any pain from the back.
Tip #4 - Hair
One thing that is very important during the class is how the kids have their hair up. It is very important that is not up on a ponytail, but like in the picture on the side. Because ballet class is so strict and difficult, we don't need extra distractions, so in this way, they don't have to think about anything else except their exercise, and technique.
