Practice Ballet Costumes--At Non-Traditional Schools


Figure 1.--This enthusiasdtic dancer wears a "T"-shirt wears a "Jaws"-Tshirt. Many traditional schools require specific shirts. Some non-traditional schools allow the boys to choosde their own shirts, although often they are required to be plain.

A variety of shirts are worn for ballet practice. Some schools let the boys wear rather much what they want. White "T"-shirts of various descriptions are common. Colored short or long sleeved shirts are also worn. Patterned or logo shirts are usually not allowed, but some non-traditional schools even allow them. Normally these shirts are long and may have to be tucked into the tights. They also often have normal sized necks. Notice how this boys' shirt is not even tucked in.
