Question for Those Who Take Ballet

Posted: 8/26/06 at 1:14pm

I'm taking a class called Theatre Jazz this year, and it's required to take Ballet with it. I've never taken a ballet class before. This is probably a really stupid question but... are you supposed to wear anything under the leotard?

I figured there's a lot of people who take dance here. Thanks!

Is it weird to wear a bra? I really want to.

It's kinda personal preference. If you want some more support, there are good dance bras that are pretty much invisible under leotard, same with underwear. Otherwise people often go without so you don't get panty lines and such showing through the leotard.

Here's a link to the type of dance undergarments that are available out there and that are frequently used: http://www.allaboutdance.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.761/.f

Yeah, in my experience, it's usually: no underwear, but a bra's OK if you really need the support.

Have fun with your classes!

We should start "The Official Dance Belt Appreciation Thread."

It got me through many a performance. :)

Thanks for the link! Capezio is right next to where I'm going, so I'll see what they have there.

It's not weird to wear a bra under your leotard. AS long as it's not showing, it's fine.

Have fun in ballet!
