Basically, you can always ask for it in the studio. Some studios have a kind of dress code; some teachers have preferences. As a rule, however, the clothing question is rather loose in hobby training and adult courses are often especially open for "alternative" clothes. Do not worry, nobody will be forced to wear pink ballet jerseys!

For a first trial, you do not even need a ballet suit. The clothing should be relatively tight. Wide trousers, such as you might wear them for yoga or street dancing are not suitable. This has a simple reason: Teachers must be able to see your legs and knee joints well so that they can correct any misalignment and posture errors and do not incur any risk of injury. The outward rotation of the legs in the ballet, when performed incorrectly, will result in a severe load on the (knee) joints. This is unhealthy in the long run and can quickly become painful.

Once you assume you do not have tight pants on hand, then I would only recommend shorts. (So ​​sports shorts, or from soft fabric, no jeans- one must be able to move in it;

Recommendation:

- tight but comfortable clothes in which you can move well

- optimally fast drying fabrics, Ex. Functional

substances - e.g. Leggings (made of thicker fabric, not translucent), tight sports pants (e.g. running clothes), (shorts)

- the top also as close as possible, recommended a Short sleeve

- possibly a thin jacket to wear after training or in resting

- ballet shoes (NO Gymnastic slings with rubber soles, as they are sold in many sports stores)

or simply socks

Have fun dancing!
