written by just me at on 01.11. at 20:49:39 - as answer to: Re: proper female ballet class attire by Mr. Ballet at >>I keep seeing young women in ballet classes these days wearing their white ballet tights over their black leotards.When I learnt ballet ans later taught ballet there was a clear and accepted dress rule that females wore their ballet tights under their leotards.Similarly if any male ballet student had come to one of my classes wearing their leotard over their ballet tights or wearing an inappropriate color(i.e. pink!)they would have been asked to leave the class at once.Ballet is about discipline, tradition and proper deportment...so girls wear your ballet tights under your leotards from now on.The Ballet Mistress >I totally agree that tights worn over a leotard is bad. In my ballet classes any girl who shows up not wearing her black leotard over her ballet pink tights will be askled to leave the studio, and not attend that class. If it happens a second time within one month, she will be dropped from attending anymore classes.>What some people seem to forget is that ballet is all about following a strict discipline. Dressing properly for class is part of the long established discipline of ballet. There is no room in ballet for compromise. It's do it in the traditional way, or leave!! You must remeber times chnage and stuf aren;t always being done the traditional way an people do things differently. If you say black and pink is traditional ballet clothes then dance societies (sp) like RAD is not valid because they do not use black and pink only. The girls leotard colours vary according to the grade they are in. Sorry but black and pink might have been the tradition but I think not today anymore. I perosnaly like the black and pink combination but do not think it is the tradition for today. I do not like a class where mixed colours are aloud I prefer all students must wear the same, it looks nice but it do not have to be black. When it comes to tights I prefer the pink tio black under leo aswell. Just my opinion. Answers to this message: |
