While a recreational dancer, one of the best moments I had in ballet class involved a unitard I have. I was feeling more confident in my dancing and when doing attitude prominades in the center, and was wearing a 3/4 sleeve dark gray unitard with white socks and shoes. Out of the corner of my eye I did not recognize myself and for a split second I thought, "Who is that DANCER?!" before I realized that it was ME! Normally, I had some kind of a shirt or tank over my top but that was a thrill I still remember 30 years later!
@@sergioromeroofficial Thinking about this further, I have heard it is common for adult recreational dancers. The feeling I had when I wanted to wear something "flashy" or show my body more is "I can't live up to that! I'll look foolish." Rather than what I was feeling that day of "Let's see what I can do in THIS!" Sometimes the right things can help push us to do better if we don't sabotage ourselves first!
@@EmpiraGirl I totally understand what you mean, I’m going to be 31 soon, and I definitely feel a bit different wearing a unitard then when I was 18… but is so true that is more in our minds than in reality. Let’s enjoy it instead of sabotage ourselves!
I can’t find it either!!! I got them as a present, I know they are a new brand….so maybe soon in time we will know about them…the tag says: be your dance
Your outfit #2 looks the best to me, as I really enjoy short and tight shorts for class. Is there any reason in the professional ballet world for teachers to object to short shorts like that for class or rehearsal? Or is that totally acceptable garb for class and rehearsals?
@@sergioromeroofficial I appreciate your answer and I can understand that, but it seems to me that the expression refers to white people's skin. So it does not include the skin colour of dancers like: Carlos Acosta, Marcelino Zambe, Misty Copeland and many others. Mr Romero, I asked you that question because that expression sounded a little bit racist to me. Thanks for understanding.
@@jotacardenas4556 bro it literally means his shoes are the colour of his skin (which they are). If I was following this look as a black person, I would wear a shade of brown that matched my skin. It's not that hard to understand
These days especially in the recreational Adult Ballet Classes, males dressing shabbily is the norm. Personally, I think its gross for a guy to wear baggy exercise pants for ballet.
I agree with your comment. As one who took adult ballet classes when I was younger, I think traditional male ballet attire of black or gray tights, a white leotard and black or white ballet slippers (with matching socks) should still be required. A unitard of any color is also acceptable. And, of course, a dance belt must be worn to prevent injury. Of course, with some cis-males who identify as transgurls also taking ballet classes, I think cis-males who choose to wear ballerina clothing should also be permitted. There is also an increasing number of boys and men who are learning to dance en pointe, which means pointe shoes for boys and men.

Same colour as his skin.

@@jotacardenas4556Grow up and stop taking offence and finding problems where they don’t exist, you sound dense.
