Which color/s leotard/tights is best for adult beginning class?

Question

My school allows us to choose. Are any colors easier for the instructor to see your body in? Is an all black ensemble too dark to be effective?

Answer 1

ohh you are so lucky you get to choose! There is so much cute dancewear to choose from, in some many colours and styles! Trust me, once you start buying leotards and stuff, you'll want more more more!

On a more serious note, it really depends on what you are comfortable wearing, and what style of dance you are doing! I gather from the previous comment  you are starting tap. For tap, I would usually wear a leotard/dance top with shorts, dance pants or 3/4 leggins, or maybe a blocked skirt (not see through material.)

Colours are really what suits you best! If your skin doesn't suit a colour, simple, don't buy it! But colours that suit you. And buy styles that suit your body type.

Black is the most traditiional colour to buy a leotard in, so if you you want to play it safe with your first leo (which i would reccomend), I would get black. It is usually good for most peoples figures. The style you get is up to you. Your black leotard will be your best friend, should last you a long time, and will be a staple in your dance wardrobe.

As for bottoms, shorts, dance pants or 3/4 leggins are appropriate. If you want to make it easier for the teacher to see your legs and feet (which i again reccomend), i would get shorts or 3/4 leggins. It depends how comfortable you are. The colour is again up to you! You can't go wrong with classic black, but to break up the colour you might like to try dark purple shorts, or some colourful piping or soemthing.

Tights are again up to you. For a tap class, your best best would probably be skin tone "jazz" tights. Where i live, everyone buys Fiesta skin tone, but i don't know what is available for you.

Have fun!
