To my surprise, my ballet teacher recently asked me if I wanted to give Pointe a try. She said I had enough training to adcance to the Pointe class. I saw my chance, and asked if I could wear pink tights and a black leotard like all the girls do. To my astonishment, she said "OK"!!
She reasoned that since all the other dancers in the Pointe class MUST wear a black leotard and pink tights, I would stand out if I was not dressed as the rest of the dancers were.
So when I went to the local dancewear store to pick up my Pointe shoes, I also picked up quite a few pairs of Capezio's ballet pink tights and a couple of camisole leotards made by both Danskin and Capezio.
I was so nervous the first time I showed up in Pointe class wearing my pink tights, pink Pointe shoes and a black leotard. The girls all giggled at seeing me dressed as a "Ballerina" but that soon passed. I am now a fully accepted member of the girls Pointe class. I just LOVE wearing my pretty pink tights and a black leotard. I'm in absolute heaven!!![/i]
