Question:i have a four year old boy that i just put in a beginning ballet/tap class, and he loves it and he's actually really talented! the only problem is that he's been wearing sweats to class while all the little girls have tights and tutus and look so cute. what can i put on him that is still masculine yet looks more like a dance uniform?
he needs to wear tights under whatever bottoms because of switching between the ballet and tap shoes.

the genral rule is black tights and biker shorts for ballet and black or grey sweat pants for tap jazz modern etc.
all are worn with a white tee shirt (not too lose ) that is genrally let untucked if not to long at least thats what the guys at my studio wear it is not skin tight but it does not restrict the teachers view of the students form or lines . basicly that means it makes them happy. hope this helps

don't do that to your son

I used to do dance, and all guys wore tights under, and sweats over. Then, just wear a plain black/white shirt tucked in.

My cousin was in tap dancing when he was little. In the videos of him, he wore a leotard with tights (both black) and some knee length shorts that weren't tight or loose so they wouldn't distract him.

umm im a ballerina and ive seen little boys wear black shorts like gym shorts or whatever (with tighets underneath?) and then a plain white tee shirt??

something comfortable to move in.( shorts t shirt) SHADDUP to all who can't say something nice.

sweats are fine.
the guys i dance evn wore jeans sometimes... though i wouldn't recommend that b/c some studios get angry at that...
he just needs something he can move in.

I am a 19 year old guy who started beginning ballet classes a few months ago, and I just wear a leotard with footed tights, same uniform as the girls. Even though I am the only boy in my class I don't want special treatment, so I wear a black leotard with light pink ballet tights. Nobody wears a tutu though. So maybe you could get him a regular ballet outfit in a more boyish color?
