My studio is always blazing hot 😩 the most I can handle is leg warmers for barre

Pink leg warmers. I am a guy. Once saw an old clip of Nureyev with a pair or faded but still pink leg warmers. Being young, impressionable, etc etc... thought if he can do it, why not? Had never seen any other guy wear pink leg warmers. I thought it looked, ermm, different. So, I did. Got the initial looks, and just kept on keeping on. They became second nature, nary a thought about it, tho in new studios I would get those initial looks. Denver, Chicago, Boston, around... ended up in New York City. Knew literally no one. Walked into a studio to take classes. Had no idea the backstory, history of the studio until a few days later. Let's just say, omg. Those who came into my first classes, OOOMMMGGG. Had been to see Ivan Nagy and Natalia Makarova in, ermmm, Giselle or La Sylphide. The night before. Get to class, to the barre, and in walks Ivan Nagy. We all have our fav places yes? Guess I was in his place. Had been warming up but sensed, then asked if he wanted me to move? I was in shock anywayz. No prob he said. Then from his dance bag he pulls out a pair of faded pink leg warmers. He saw me look and like, oh, cool. (to that point I'd never seen another guy wearing such...) Both of us smiled. Took class. Remained in shock the whole time. Addendum, when moving away from the barre, the ballet master assigned Mr Nagy, and me, to the front row. The only two in the front row. And proceeded with the rest of the class. Did I mention I was in shock? Pink warmers and all.

Ladies, I am by avocation a singer. I would love to see y’all do a deep dive into ballet in opera. That is the idea of grand opera, to bring all the creative arts into one production. If you do, there is a famous Russian opera that the Bolshi did at the Met in the late 90’s that included Russian folk dancing by Bolshi Ballet dancers. It was electric.

They are short on me because I have a bigger bottom. I do like a good pull-on style skirt though, just with a bit more length.

For arm warmth, I slide a pair of full-length children's leg warmers over my arms. Fit great, nice and cozy, and easy to slip off when I warm up. Also, I once crocheted myself a lovely, pale pink shrug; it looked great, and kept my arms and back warm, but it turned out to be too itchy to wear more than 5 minutes. 😞 Maybe one day I'll make another like it, but with cotton yarn instead of wool.

I agree with most of your preferences, except I'm afraid you won't like the kind of skirts I wear... the Bulletpointe skirts are super cute but i can't wear them. My behind isn't nearly covered. I have an extreme hourglass figure and need a much longer skirt that flares out for coverage. (they aren't wrap skirts but A line skirts). I really love the hi-lo skirts, I had a few custom made - but the Eleve ones are too tight in the hips :-/ the Suffolk ones flare out more and fit my figure better. Otherwise I agree with all your choices!

This is fun. I'm actually surprised how different my thinking is from you guys in several ways. Personally, I do have a lot of leotards and skirts, and most of the skirts are wrap. To wear a bullet point style skirt, I have to buy one with the waist band too big because I have round glutes, so the "correct size" rides up terribly. I started dance in Southern Oregon, where apparently no studio can afford an air conditioner big enough for the space, so cut off tights were a matter of survival in the hot months. Also, I DO love strappy leotards, particularly because they allow you to have most of your back bare without feeling completely unsupported in the front, which is also very helpful if the studio is very warm. I've actually never bothered to get trash bag pants or booties, but I'm pretty much always sweaty in a few minutes year-round, so I don't know if I could handle it, I might just get overheated really quickly. I've always stuck with budget warmup clothes, actually used to buy cotton tops from the $1 rack at a consignment shop next to the studio.

That’s like a guy in tights who is wearing running shorts over top - this defeats the purpose of wearing the form fitting dance wear in the first place.

I’m not a dancer and I had no idea how many fashion choices there are available for you. Unless one is a student! I was in a variety of sports and I can’t think of anything remotely equivalent for practice. The strappy back has been very trendy in fitness/leisure wear. It looks like an opportunity to develop an itch in way more places than necessary.

I’m the one girl who arrives at the studio packed in warm ups. Like everything, trash bag pants, shirts, shorts, cardigans, hoodies, leg warmers… I LOVE my warm ups! At least I’ll have some in my bag. Doesn’t matter which season 😂 Fortunately my ballet school isn’t that strict with the dress code. We have one in many classes but it’s more about the color of the leotard. We can wear warm ups (as you probably recognized) and I actually love to wear my tights over the leotard, when I have those I-don’t-wanna-look-into-the-mirror-days. It makes me feel much more comfortable in my skin sometimes. One question, would you recommend space boots for students as well?

I 100000% agree with yall about the bullet skirts, I prefer them over a wrap skirt any day. When it comes to halter neck leotards I absolutely love them and own a few of them. Space booties I feel like is a no-brainer, even if you aren't a dancer you should still wear them, same goes for the trash bag pants/shorts. I could go on and on about every single one but I'm going to keep this short as possible so I will leave it at this.

I like the wrap skirts and flared legwarmers for the movement. The same way certain garment extend of emphasize the lines, when all the base layers are so tight the movement they highlight is great. The speed of turns, the lightness of steps the transitions between combinations and pivots, and weight shifts. They also show you how much control you do or dont have.

I have a VERY certified and very serious question to ask. So, do you two go shopping for your outfits just for the videos? Becuase you seem to wear a different thing every show (at least your tops. you could be wearing the same pair of jeans under your tops for all we know) Or do you just have that many outfits? And are you like “oh we are making a vid on so and so, let’s wear that” and are you two like “that doesn’t match” or “Eden, not that, I’m wearing green.” I really want to know!

I grew up dancing ballet and modern and I’m in my 40’s now so I’ve gone through a few styles! Now a days I love my trash bag shorts to warm up with a full zip fleece and leg warmers (my mom made me some in below the knee in deep pink or orange! with stirrups or longer black ones without). I used to love halter or racer back (and I always need a bra) but my shape is better balanced with a short sleeve, 3/4 sleeve, or tank Leo. For center I switch the shorts for a pull on skirt that’s a little hi low with a bit of flare and a slit. 😊 My tights are usually rolled up under my calf to keep balance my heat once I’m warm. Back in high school I wore a black unitard with a colored cami top for a piece and then wore them a lot into college. I recently tried new Athleta bodysuits but I prefer layers around my belly. 🙃

In my school when we were little like ages 5-10 we would wear bullet pointe skirts but after that we had to get wrapup skirts. Still prefer more the wrapup tho.

I was hoping you would talk about elastic vs. satin ribbons for pointe shoes! Perhaps in a future video :D

I sweat the most in my class, plus the fact that I live in the asian region where there is no four seasons and that my teacher does not really blast the aircon (i wish she would but its so that we wont catch a cold that easily), I dont really need these warmers as I already sweating after barre work 😭but if only i live in a cold country + i dont sweat that easily, i would LOVE to get all of these warmers, the aesthetics and the bagginess is just OMGG 🥹

My fourth toe curls under really bad, and when I wear tights in my shoes it forces it under even more and gets stuck. It was so nice to discover stirrup tights for me! Probably not the usual reason people buy them but that's mine lol.

Stirrups were really big in the '80s for modern/jazz

I'm an adult in a teenage exam class. All the other girls have to wear the exam leotard with pink footed tights, no skirts, no shorts and no tops of any kind, regardless of season. I get to where whatever I want so I wear a black Kmart singlet top with a coloured crop top bra over my normal bra. On the bottom I wear knee-length black tights with either bare legs or tan knee-hi stocking socks depending on the weather. I also wear bike shorts with a coloured waistband in the studio theme colour. In cold weather I wear a cheap tie-up shrug i found on eBay (short or long sleeves - also in the studio colour). I'm lucky but I feel sorry for those girls who have to abide by the rules, even when they're not doing the exams as they always look uncomfortable.

This is like two set violin but for ballet

I was hoping to get your opinion on wearing basketball shorts while dancing.

Are you referring to Maya S.? I made the mistake of mocking those once and got slaughtered in the comments. 😂

@@Upstaged07 Yeah, Maya Schonbrun is the one I saw wearing them. I didn't know if that was just a preference for only her or not.

I was going to ask the same question about wearing shorts. I have seen Maria Khoreva wearing black shorts over her leotard & tights in her ballet class videos. How popular are shorts for class and rehearsal?

@@justinchristoph3725 She's the only one who wears the big baggy shorts, but I've seen plenty of dancers wear knit shorts over a leotard. I do it too sometimes.

Ayyyy 😆😆✨✨✨

Tights, over leotards can only be worn if they’re black I don’t have a white panty line it’s easy to try on costumes so when you’re a professional dancer a lot of times you need to take those tights off and put a skirt on, but you wear the tights in class and rehearsal easier to go to the bathroom too when you have breaks😊

What were the girleens of the late 19th century wearing to class? All those little girls painted by Degas?

What you should wear to ballet👱🏻‍♀️ 🩱 🩰

For me the upper part of tights are underwear. As far is I read there is no need for wearing briefs under your tights as they would rather disturb. So tights under the leotard.

Pretty sure we invented tights tops 40 years ago LOL. Same as wearing thongs under UNITARDS but we could only get thongs at the Capezio store in Hollywood. Decades later folks figured out that panty lines weren't flattering ever. Yay dancers!!!

Unpopular opinion but I've tried trash bag pants, space boots, and bullet pointe skirts and I don't really like them. Maybe mine just never fit right but I couldn't get behind it and I'm scared to try again in case people at my new school judge me for wearing them out of nowhere

Where are they that it’s so cold year round..?

I am very opinionated so I have my own hot takes on all of these. I've been commenting along while watching. I mostly agree with the video, but of course have a few dissenting opinions: Tights: I am a tights under the leotard person, over can look ok with black tights over a black leotard, but ballet pink over a leotard is a hard no for me. There's always a slightly off-center bum seam that looks awful. Likewise, stirrup tights should be under the shoes, not over them but they can be a good choice for people who prefer bare feet in shoes. (I feel the same about skaters wearing tights over the skates. ugh). I like coloured tights for women and men, but I do think more muted colours are more attractive than bold for class. Of course, without matching shoes, the line is broken. Warmup layers: I don't like the swishy noise of trashbag pants so I just prefer a good pair of yoga shorts as a warm-up layer. They are kind of cute though. I love mesh and lace on leotards and on warm-up, but tights tops - I've never made work, my legs are much larger than my arms so the arms are always loose. I have bought mesh top layers instead as well as sleeved opaque yoga crop tops and much prefer these options. I prefer these to wrap tops too. Thigh length legwarmers never stay up for me..... I have some compression calf length ones that I love. The one leg rolled up only makes sense for and injury situation at the pro level. Most teachers are not a fan of baggy asymmetrical warmups. I love a good mesh pull on skirt over a wrap or opaque skirt and will match my skirt to a mesh top for barre. I don't love the dangly ties of a wrap skirt/top. but I do like the adjustability. Footwear: My pink and tan ballet slippers end up looking almost the same colour as each other after a few rounds in the washing machine. I've definitely accidently worn one of each before and no-one noticed (both Hanamis). I like tan for everyone. I'm not a fan of the gendered white/black vs. pink shoe expectations, so I love the move to various skin-tone tans for everyone. They should probably also make shoes in the grey-ish colour that ballet tights end up being after the wash.... LOL Spaceboots - great for keeping warm between class and warming up before class and used as slippers at home, but I wouldn't wear them during class. Leotards/Unitards: Here is where I disagree the most!!! I love unitards for my less formal summer classes - no sweaty tights digging in! Tights can be such a pain to put on and off in the humidity and get runs so easily, and unitards solve this. However, I always throw a skirt on over a unitard to avoid weird shapes, but I would 100% switch to these if I could. I really hate wearing ballet tights. I love a strappy back but agree they aren't for partnering. Multiple straps can help a leotard feel secure over a spaghetti strap leo and look nicer than a thick tank style in a lot of cases. The cold shoulder look is cute as a costume, but it looks uncomfortable for classwear - I'm not a fan of sleeves on leotards in general as they get too hot. I'd rather just layer a top on at the barre if I need the warmth. Halters pull on my neck too much for class, but like the cold-shoulder style they do look good as a costume. I am not a fan of patterned leotards - way too busy. A two-toned colour blocked leotard can look nice without being so busy.
