Answer 1

wear your hair up and bring water and drink plenty of water before you leave and make sure you go to the bath room before you leave and bring a dance bag so you can put your water and ballet shoes in there and wear your regular shoes until you get inside the dance place and make sure you put on a nice friendly smile! Hope I helped.

Answer 4

Your dance clothes sound just fine.  In some studios the girls wear tshirts over their leotards, so you may want to bring one just in case.  You should BRING A WATER BOTTLE, definitely.  You might want to bring an ankle wrap, like the kind you get at a local pharmacy, just in case, but that usually isn't needed.

You can expect to spend quite a bit of time at the bar every class you go to for the rest of your life!  Other than that I can't really say what you can expect; all classes are different.

Good luck, and have fun dancing!

Answer 5

bring a dance bag with your ballet shoes and water in it

wear your sneakers and change into your ballet shoes

you might get hot wearing a knit skirt, so maybe you could wear shorts over your leotard

put your hair up and NEVER wear your ballet shoes in the street

expect to learn pleas, demi pleas, barre excersices, stretches, etc

Answer 6

Bring water, a bag for your stuff (some teachers don't like their students wearing skirts so you might need to put your skirt in there), and extra ponytail holders and bobby pins.

You can bring a tshirt if you want, but most teachers will not want you to wear it so that they can see your body (to make sure you're holding it right).

Wear normal clothes over your ballet clothes and just take it off before class and put it back on after class. That is, put on your ballet clothes and then put your normal everyday clothes over it (jeans and a tshirt or tank top and skirt/shorts). Wear normal shoes (do NOT walk in from the street wearing your ballet shoes, it WILL destroy them).

Also, it may help to bring a small brush, some gel/hairspray, and a mirror with you. Just in case you need to fix your hair right before class.

What you should expect is that you'll be learning the very basics. Ballet positions, the correct way to plie, turn, how to hold your upper body and shoulders, which way to look, stretches, etc. It'll probably be a bit slow, so that you can get a STRONG foundation in th basic ballet moves.

Don't worry. You'll be fine and do great!

Answer 9

thats so exciting ! yeah that is a good outfit, but the black knit skirt idk if your allowed to wear it. my studio makes us wear like a transparent skirt almost. you dont really need to bring anything but you should wear different shoes when youa re going there because walking on ballet shoes can mess them up. and you should have a coverup over it- my studio requires it so i am not shure your studios policy.

remember relax and have fun dancing !
