Usually in ballet, you would wear a leotard( colours change for different grades., or boys wear blue leggings with white leotard suit, skin coloured tights or socks for younger grades, a skirt the same colour as the leotard and soft ballet shoes. either leather or satin. For character work you wear a long black skirt with ribbons around the bottom and black shoes with a slight heel. You can also wear pointshoes .

First of all, ballet dancers wear tights that are the color
pink, usually
called ballet pink. Also ballet dancers wear a leotard which
consists of many
different colors. most importantly, they have to wear ballet
shoes, which is the
most important uniform to wear. You would wear flat ballet shoes
which are for
the beginner or young dancers. For more advanced dancers, they
where pointe
shoes where you go all the way up well, on pointe or 'tippy
toes'. During a
performance, ballet dancers often wear decorated leotards and a
tutu. Hopefully

There are different things that ballet dancers can wear. If you
are just starting ballet and you are little, you would wear white
tights with a pink body suit and a skirt (not a tu tu), ballet
shoes with your hair in a bun. If you have been doing ballet for a
couple of years and your are an intermediate you would wear white
tights and a blue body suit, ballet shoes and your hair in a bun.

wear a black body suit with white tights and ballet shoes with your

a costume when you are performing.
