What is a ballet outfit composed of?

Ballet uniforms are often recommended or even required by teachers so we suggest asking your dance studio what uniform dancers need.

The perfect dance outfit is a leotard and tights as this will stop your clothing shifting around no matter what move you're performing! You can add a skirt if you like.

As for footwear, you should check with your teacher whether you need full soles or split soles.

Our tip for keeping your muscles warm? Wear a wrap over top!

How to choose a ballet outfit

Our motto is fit and comfort. Your leotard and tights should be neither too tight nor too loose so that you can dance freely! To make sure the clothes are a good fit, try performing some moves in the fitting room: raise one arm and lean forwards. Your outfit should stay securely in place.

When it comes to skirts (which aren't always needed), it's a question of style! They should fit around your waist and be able to follow your movements.
