At SAB, every single level from little kids to older kids can wear whatever style you want. The younger kids have different colors for each level but once you get into Advanced division you wear any style black leotard for technique and then any style white leotard for pointe, variations and pas

I've seen several videos of Vaganova exams and they seem to have a different colour for each year or level, because I've seen blue, lilac and black as well as that brown. Same cut, and they all have the skirt. (And I rather like the brown, it's definitely different!)

I'm also part of that JCS class and our leotards are not black, they're navy, and certainly not uncomfortable! 🤣 The school's uniform is actually Wear Moi and each level has it’s own color! We just happened to wear a different model for our exam class. 😉

Vaganova wear Grishko. Also I think depending on the grade, some wear lilac leos. White is extremely impractical (regarding Paris and American schools)

I LOVE that Vaganova uniform. It’s so pretty!

The Vagonova leotard is really elegant. I love the color so much I bought it from Grishko. Also, like the school you went to, the colors are different for the grades. The younger girls wear lilac and other colors. Also Grishko leotards don’t pill, like you mentioned with your school’s fabric, and many styles are lined with kind of a microfiber.

When I was dancing, we were forced to wear pink or white stockings. As a dancer of color, my skin color shined through the stockings looking horrible!

Hey, I'm actually the admin of the JCS Instagram where I the. that photo is from and a student there currently. So at JCS the girls teachers each choose a different uniform for each class, so every class is different. For example the Akademie B girls wear navy blue, and the graduate girls wear a plum wear moi. And the studios in the new building we have are amazingly temperature controlled so I know the girls never have problems with the heat.

Could you do a review of the show Dance Academy and about how realistic the show is to real life ballet dancers, also what the actors technique was like in the show, etc?

Black 3/4 sleeve was always my leotard of choice when I got to the upper level of my school and we could wear whatever we wanted. I’d be sweaty no matter what I was wearing so the heat was never a big deal.

I’m from Dutch National, so a fun fact. Every year has their own colour! So from youngest to oldest it’s: white, sky blue, light grey, dark grey, navy blue (which I am), dark red (from the video) and than black. 🙃

Paris Opera Ballet School uniforms are (were... haven't ckecked lately) all Degas. Each division has a different color. The 1st division which is the upper level, shown on the picture, is wearing the "taglioni" leotard from Degas. And yes, this "chest criss-cross" shape is tricky. Little trick : you have to sew it so it doesn't open and fits well on you.

Hey Claudia, Im from the US. I just wanted u to know, that im not a dancer, but i really enjoy watching ballet, and ur videos really help me understand and appreciate what Im watching. Like, Im all into naming the different moves and knowing the mechanics of what i see. I have the utmost admiration for how much strength it reallt takes to make ballet look so effortless. I just wanted u to know ur vids are very entertaining and interesting. I tried ballet at one point but due to scoliosis i cant bend my back in the way thats needed to do it. But i can still enjoy the art form. Thank u for all ur hard work and for sharing ur world with us!🙂

My favorite leo to start the day in for company class was a 3/4 Vneck black leo. I found a brand that sold a silky soft one that kept me warm as I was beginning a long day of work. I often changed at lunchtime into something sleeveless, but those black sleeved leos saved me so much in cold winters!

Please make a video talking about different ballet schools and how to choose a school for you (like SAB, ABT school , Vagnova etc)!

I love this and your commentary. Would love a part two and/or most flattering leos from a teacher's perspective :)

Good luck to everyone in school now❣️ Upper body support is key for me as I am too large on top, ha! I appreciate Claudia taking that into account always, thanks Claudia❤️

The last ones were my favourite. I think the black makes a statement and I LOVE the neck line. The neck lune on the paris one were so beautiful as well.I also really love the light brown one with the skirt. I love how the skirt and detailing are a darker brown than the leotard.

I think the brown uniform, in the purple colour, but with the shorter skirt of the white uniform would be my optimal set. At RAD we had a similar style to the SF School without the seams, and it with short wrap skirts for the juniors and knee-length for the seniors. Cotton leos for class, satin for Dress. Absolutely loved it. And of course, either a ballet wrap for warm-ups (knitted by your mum or gran) or an oversized black sweat with no neck and cut off sleeves that you used for leg warmers. Ahh, the 80s. LOL

Loved this video! So interesting! Maybe do a part two with other schools, and more American ones please! And I actually loved John Cranko’s uniform, 3/4 sleeve leotards are the best!

please do a part 2! i loved this sm. also, do you think you could do the uniforms for canada's national ballet school?

Love you Claudia! 💗

I love your collection haul videos. I could listen to your voice for hours. Especially if you are talking about something that you are interested in. ( Iive in the USA/ the states)

I have always loved the vaganova leotard with the ribbons and hated the colour, never really thought about the skirt issue. Royal Ballet I love that they have matching tutus.

You think of the best videos that dancers love to watch!

So fun! Would love to see a review of the junior schools too!

My current uniform is a white Leo and skirt ( in the exact style of your aurora 🤭 ) but the new one is the same style but in teal and velvet with a crown embroidered on the back! I think it’s pretty cool 👍

This is such a creative video!!!!!

I actually love my 3/4 leotard, and its surprisingly comfortable its my go- to!

Claudia you are glowing! I love your tan xx

Okay but- you look so good in that outfit😌

I used to have a leotard the same colour as the SF Ballet School as a uniform when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it!

yaaaay such a fun video!!😍😍

Loved this video! My studio has us wear any solid color leo for the highest level which is what I am! We can also wear skirts! For the younger girls it’s either a black leotard or blue leotard and then the level below that (the youngest one) is lavender leotard or black leotard!

My school was affiliated with the Royal Ballet and we had a Vee neck sleeveless leotard in a different colour every year-white, baby pink, baby blue, maroon, navy blue, Diploma and Technical levels were all black with different cuts-the same Vee neck then cap sleeves, 3/4 sleeves , long sleeves and then the final year was a navy blue long sleeve with long skirt. We also had the option to wear a matching short wrap skirt in the first three years. We spent almost as much on our uniforms as we did on our shoes and fees every year!

this is the tea i needed

I learned ballet online initially and I learned Balanchine technique. Then I started lessons in classical- you’re right it’s so different! I think I prefer Balanchine though

You should a part 2 it’s really an amazing idea I ♡ it

You should rate the men's uniforms! I'd never seen some of those styles before, and as a male dancer, it'd be cool to see new options for myself! :)

A given colour, choose your cut is really common in the US. PNB is similar but black in their preprofessional division, but at least a few years back lower down it was a fixed model, which changed colour as you went through the levels.

Can you do a second part in which you analise La Scala ballet school's uniform? Thank you.

My dance uniform was black leotard and pink tights. Color leotards were for rehearsals.

Great video!❤ I believe you think long sleeves would be so sweaty and not breathable because you live in Australia, where i personally live the studios are almost cold especially in the winter.

my studio has black for all levels, with the exception of pink for the lil ones. But we're also allowed to wear some other colors if we choose, and any cut we'd like as well as skirt optional. i typically prefer black tho because yes it looks great on everyone and its also ideal for *those days*. i agree with you about black, Claudia lol

Your hair looks beautiful!!! Not relevant I know, but it does xxx
