Being a professional ballet teacher, I will give you some hints!. First, you'll want to wear classic pink (not bright pink) tights with a black leotard!. You also will want to wear classic pink ballet slippers!. You may want to call your dance school that you are thinking of going to to check the dress code for your studio!. They may have different colored leotards for different level classes!. You will also want to check whether to get full sole or split sole slippers depending on the level class that you are in!. You will also want to get basic hair products!. You'll need hair elastics, hair nets, bobby pins, and hairclips of your hair color!. You'll also need firm-hold gel and hairspray!. I can also tell you that you may want to buy a ballet skirt, tight mini-shorts, and a dance bag!Www@QuestionHome@Com
