After you've made the decision to enroll and pursue ballet you'll need the traditional male dancer outfit of black tights, dance belt, and a white t-shirt. Tights not only let you move unencumbered, but let your instructor see what you are doing with your leg muscles, so she can correct your placement.
Your messages to the other people who have written to you seem to imply you are not commited to continuing after your first trial class. I would urge you to make the commitment to do a couple months worth of classes. Why? Because you will probably hate your first class. The teacher will either ignore you entirely or give you a whole bunch of corrections that make you feel like you'll never be able to even stand up again, let alone dance gracefully. You have to give yourself enough time to understand and start applying those corrections before you will be able to tell whether you have a future in dance. Good luck!
>I will be going to South Hill Park Arts Centre on the 25th September for my first ever ballet class. The question is, given that I'm going along to see if I like it, and then to enrol, what should I wear? They're not expecting me to have all the right kit. I have a lycra unitard and trainers, also sweatpants. Any of that any good? I don't have any shorts except cycle shorts...[/i]
