Ballet Uniform question 2?

Question:So if you wear a leotard and tights for ballet class, what do you do when it is cold inside, do you wear something over your outfit or do you stay warm by doing your dancing? Also do you usually come to class wearing just your uniform or do you put it on there or do you wear it under your clothes? Please give me as much advice as you can because I am getting ready to start ballet and I don't know any of this. Thanks a lot for all of your help.

Don't panic, you'll be fine. The safest thing to do for your first class is to arrive wearing your uniform under your street clothes - just in case there isn't a changing room at the studio.

If it's cold, a good option is to arrive wearing a track suit or sweat pants and sweatshirt over your uniform, because they're loose and comfortable and you can keep one or both on until you're feeling warmed up.

You can buy leg-warmers, but I wouldn't just yet. You'll find different schools have different ways of dressing. There's no rhyme or reason to it, it's just that most students like to copy what the teacher wears, or what the star student wears - and before you know it, everyone's dressed the same!

So you'll find some schools where everyone wears leg-warmers, others where everyone wears sweat pants, and some where everyone wears dance pants or yoga pants. And so on.

Wear something sensible to the first class, then observe people closely to see what they wear. Then you'll know what to buy to be in with the crowd.

You can show up in your uniform, wearing sweatpants over the tights if you'd like. when its cold you can wear a sweater that ties in front and leg warmers. Maybe thicker tights as well.

you sound a little panicked haha.

when its cold outside, i wear warm ups. like sweaters, leg warmers, ect (discountdancesupply.com). all tight fitting tho is the best...if you wear something baggy chances are your posture might be incorrect...but it all depends on the studio if they will let you wear warm ups, so ask when you go to class

you go to class with the uniform on...you can wear something over it if its more comfortable for you and take it off when you get there.

i like to wear warm ups with my uniform....because i think it looks cool haha i live in hawaii soo there is no real reason for me to be cold haha

When it's cold outside I usually wear legwarmers, knit shorts, or a knit sweater. Sometimes all three.
I usually come straight from school, so I get ready at my studio or my friend's house. But if I am at home before class I get ready at home. You can come wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and then just take it off before class. This is what I would do if I had to take the bus. Or you can wear sweatpants, and then use them for warmups.
Good luck starting ballet, I hope you enjoy it!

If you're really nervous about starting ballet, you should go watch a class before you start or watch dancers on YouTube. Nobody expects you to know exactly what you're doing your first class. Go the first time with optimism and just have fun!
