The romantic tutu was first created for and worn by Marie Taglioni. She was also the first ballet dancer to dance "en pointe." In order to show off her feet and legs, the tutu fell just below the knee, as it normally does today.
How do you tie ballet slippers?
If you mean pointe shoes, you take the outsdie ribbon, bring it around the inside of the foot just above the ankle, and keep bringing it around until you can put it under where you wrapped it around, just behind the ankle. Then you take the inside ribbon and wrap it aroudn the outside ankle. When it meets with where the outside ribbon is, you tie the two ribbons in a knot and tuck it up under where it can't be seen. Flat shoes, aren't tied they are just slipped on.
What does a ballet dancer usually wears?
Leotard: Just a basic correct-fitting leotard is good.
Tights: Depends on your studio's requirements, but pink or black for girls is good. (Black tights are usually cut off just above the ankle and do not tuck into your shoes)
Legwarmers: Can be different sizes and colors, usually used when it is cold or when the dancer is recovering from an injury she/he may use a legwarmer to warm up the injured ankle or whatever it is faster.
Shirts: Some classes allow you to wear shirts. They should be tight fitting though so your teacher can see your body better.
Sweatpants: Most teachers do not like you to wear sweatpants because the obstruct their view of your legs. If you are allowed to wear them they are usually only allowed during winter.
Unitard: Some dancers may prefer a unitard- a one piece leotard basically.
For guys, it is usually a white shirt and black tights or a unitard.
It varies depending on what studio/company you dance with though. Some require a certain color leotard, etc. My company has specific colors assigned to each level of class, until you get to the advanced level, in which you can wear any color. So check the website of your dance studio or call them and ask.

What is the historical background of Dance?
Background: Social DancingDancing is both the most artistic of social pastimes and the most social of artistic pastimes. In all societies, dance forms an integral part of the lifestyle. Dancing is not only a reflection of life but is a basic human expression of life itself. While the initial motivation to dance is often a social one, once past the hurdle of actually learning to dance, many find in the music, the atmosphere and the dance the opportunity to take on a new persona. In an instant, the dancer can be mentally and emotionally carried away to almost any scenario of their choosing - a Texas Barn Dance, an elegant Gala Ball in Vienna, a Caribbean beach party, a smart dinner dance in London's West End, a back street bar in Buenos Aires, a carnival in Copacabana, a bodega in old Havana, a bullfight in Valencia, a New York night spot or a Parisian café.The music and the venue create the atmosphere but it is the dancers who express their own individuality through the language of dance.You do not need to be a good dancer to enjoy dancing, the music, the mood, the atmosphere and, of course, the social life. Dancing is accessible to everyone irrespective of their age or ability.Dancing is a fabulous way of keeping fit both physically and mentally. And the great thing is that it is so much fun!
