Back to resourcesWant to try ballet but haven't bought gear yet? No worries — your first class can be simple.
[Your first class]
If you don't have ballet shoes or dancewear yet, you can wear:
• Fitted leggings
• A fitted top
• Long socks
Fitted clothing lets the teacher see your lines and posture — safer, and easier to correct your movement.
[Ongoing classes]
If you decide to keep taking ballet, ballet shoes are required. They protect your feet and give you the right balance and grip, which matters a lot for building solid fundamentals.
Not sure which shoes to get? Just ask your teacher — we're happy to help.
