U.S. Boys' Ballet Costumes


Figure 1.-- A reader writes, "While out visiting this past weekend my neice who takes ballet was showing a group of her ballet photos a few of which show this boy in the class. I had generaly thought that boys commonly wear a 'T' shirt over tights when in class but apparently there are many different different conventions."

Boys' ballet costumes for practice have varied widely. Some dance schools are very strict about how the girls shpuld dress, but to help attract boys are much morevvery flexible about how the boys should dress. Other schools have struct rules for both the boys and girls.

Of course there are also costumes for actual performances.
