Anyway, as an adult I still have these same feelings and have been considering taking lessons, but there is one thing that has been stopping me. I consider myself to be transgender. I was born male but feel like a female, this is another thing I have felt ever since the age of six, but because of the abuse I hid it from every one. Even to this day, I have not been able to dress out in public female because I feel so uncomfortable. Anyway, back to my question. If I take ballet lessons, I don't want to have to wear the dull boring ballet clothing made for men, because I REALLY HATE THE WAY ITS MADE AND THE STYLES AVAILABLE! I prefer to wear a womens pink leotard, pink chiffon skirt, white tights and pink slippers. Would this be an acceptable outfit for a class? I wouldn't be made up as a female (wig, makeup etc.) so this is why I am asking for advice. Personally, I feel we place to much emisthes on whats for female and what for males. Females wear males clothing every day and its acceptable, but when its reversed it now becomes a problem. So I should be able to wear what makes me feel comfortable to class.>Also since I would me wearing a skirt would it still be neccessary to get a dance belt? >I would really appreciate any help with this situation and if you could please send your suggestions to my email also bbrownjr@adelphia.net >Thank you all sooo much.>ChelseaI have been taking classes and I also started with white tights black leotards and a tee shirt, Getting very hot wearing the tee a couple of ballenias sugested for me to get a wrap skirt. I did and I loved it, we still dance together and I have been able to change my leotards tights and skirt to different colors even pink shoes Answers to this message: |
