Have you always dreamed of going classical danceAnd now the big day is approaching? As you know, ballet requires specific equipment to be practised properly. But what equipment is essential for first dance class ?
Follow our advice to choose the right ballet equipment and practise your art with peace of mind.
First of all, the most important thing is to feel comfortable in your clothes. That's why we advise you to wear several layers of clothing, so that you're covered when your body warms up.
What you need to know is that the most common garment worn in ballet is the leotardaccompanied by tights with feet, without feet or convertible dance tights.
You can also wear a cardigan and take it off when you're warm. So make the most of it!
D’un autre côté, si vous êtes moins à l’aise en justaucorps et collants, d’autres possibilités s’offrent à vous:
Whatever you choose, bear in mind that the stockings must allow your legs to move freely and easily.
Choose your warm-up outfit carefully. It's not essential, but it's highly recommended. After all, the warm-up garment is essential for practising ballet. They warm up the muscles before and at the start of the session. They are worn over leotards and tights.
We recommend you choose leggings, gaiters or heart warmers. See our full selection of warm-up clothes.
Indispensable for all beginner ballet dancers, the ballet shoes complete your outfit. Choose from our selection of half-point those that will give you the confidence you need during your dance class.
Choosing your first pair of booties is no easy task, as there are so many different models with so many different features.
First of all, make sure you choose the right size to avoid injury. It's essential that your boots are adapted to your level and shape.
Then, if you're a beginner, choose a flexible sole to make it easier to get on your toes.
Pay attention to the width of the box (the end of the spikes) and choose from the three widths generally offered: narrow, medium or wide.
Choose the shape of the box according to the shape of your foot. Triangular for Greek feet, or conical or square for Egyptian feet.
Finally, choose the right length for the vamp (the part corresponding to the platform up to the drawstring). It should cover the toes.
Still not sure which model to choose? Follow the advice of our specialist Pointes Fitting team to choose your slippers simply.
In classical ballet, you have to attach the hair in a bun. Whether it's for a show, a competition or a dance class, all classical dancers are up for the game. When properly secured, the chignon will allow you to perform your movements without being hindered by a rebellious lock of hair.
You'll need bobby pins, an elastic band, flat barrettes, a bun net in the same colour as your hair, a brush, a comb and hairspray to secure the style.
Practical for storing all your belongings and transporting them safely, don't hesitate to invest in a dance bag. Inside your bag, remember to take a towel, deodorant, a bottle of water to quench your thirst and a change of clothes. You'll also need bandages to prevent chafing in your slippers.
