Leotards & Skirts
Black or pink leotards are preferable. Any style leotard is good just as long as it is comfortable to dance in. Skirts may be worn but not a necessity.
Tights
I prefer ballet pink or theatrical pink colored tights. Convertible tights appear as regular tights, but have a small hole on the bottom of the foot that allow them to be easily "converted" into footless tights.
Shoes
Pink canvas (or leather) split sole ballet shoes are what I prefer to use. The shoes must fit snug around the dancer's foot, similar to how a sock would feel. It is not wise to buy shoes that students will eventually grow into, because they become too uncomfortable to dance in.
