Trash pants, leg warmers, space boots -- how cold is the studio to run all three at once, haha

[@balletreign]

Not sure, but when the knees start squeaking then you know 🤣🤣

[@dogsaregods3129]

yeah when i’m in a class for my school i never wear all that but we get chances to take class with company members onstage and when you can wear as many layers as possible why not

[@katsuyafeather1309]

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

[@drh3rd]

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.

[@oxoelfoxo]

fun story

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

That is an amazing story and I want it to become a movie! 📽🎬🩰

[@dASHsnucky]

Ivan Nagy *swoooon* Rest in peace, sweet prince 🥀

[@Loweene_Ancalimon]

Moral of the story is to always take fashion advice from Nureyev!

[@balletreign]

Thank you for sharing this story! ✨✨

[@jenmetelski185]

We used to call tights tops “crotch tops”. Worn under the leotard helps the whole going-to-the-washroom issues!

[@voxfugit]

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. Thanks for your wonderful well produced channel. (A neighbor down the road in Dallas)

[@balletreign]

Wow u are close to us! Thank you for your request, will def consider. Thanks for watching! ✨✨❤️❤️

[@annasolovyeva1013]

Which of operas? Prince Igor? Ivan Susanin? Plenty of "big" operas Bolshoi has have ballet parts. Susanin has a whole act of Polish court predominantly dancing.

[@wickedmaineahelizabeth9802]

Leg warmers were a fashion trend in the 70s. I had many pairs. Use to knit them myself

[@balletreign]

Wow you must be very talented!! 😄😄

[@melenatorr]

I never could make them, but yes, I fondly remember the legwarmer trend of the 1970s. Now I'm intrigued about the flared legwarmers and am about to do research.

[@denisehill7769]

I still wear them in winter. I had memories of Jane Fonda going for the burn!

[@Upstaged07]

I wore them in the 80's over stirrup pants! 😄

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

I thought that was in the 1980s! Do you mean they were fashionable twice? as a kid, I don’t think I even knew the fashion came from the dance studio lol

[@katyamelekluba6561]

I really want someone to do a full ballet with those blow up costumes

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

Oh yes, please!! 🙏😁

[@taylor_noelle]

I actually prefer wrap skirts more than bullet pointe skirts! The bullet pointe skirts are just not long enough for me but I love all of the different color options!

[@catalina_bliss]

I always call the bullet pointe skirt a loin cloth.

[@katherenewedic8076]

They draw attention to the vajayjay r​@catalina_bliss

[@katherinemurphy2762]

For long-legged me (~5'9" with a high waist), bullet pointe skirts feel a tad short, though I do appreciate the look.

[@lilypad2827]

Me too. And I don’t like their silhouette :)

[@brianne9]

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.

[@ropegirl8761]

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.

[@balletreign]

Wow you’re very talented!! Wool can def be quite itchy 😂😂

[@Upstaged07]

As one of the sweatiest dancers on the planet I have to stay away from the trash bag pants, because I tend to melt. It's not cool to look like you peed in your leotard. 🤣🤣 And I HAVE to be barefoot in ballet slippers - I can't stand the feeling of tights in them.

[@balletreign]

Def relatable 😅😅

[@jane_edits13.]

omg SAMEEEE!! me and my other ballet classmate sweat the MOST in my class, me is prob due to the more I jump and put effort in my work, the more warm it gets, which i hate smm like my back get sweaty, perspiration would be dripping down my cheeks, even my hands get sweaty too 😭if i could somehow reduce my sweat and get to have the chance to enjoy warmers without entirely melting or die of heatstroke, I WOULD GLADLY DO IT 😩

[@chalkedlines8960]

Ugh, I'm the same way. I sweat so much, and I cannot stand the feeling of tights in my shoes. They don't absorb sweat like they should, and they pull on my toes and bunions causing my feet to ache way more than if I just go bare under the shoes.

[@valerina01]

Yup! 😅

[@chilanya]

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!

[@balletreign]

That’s ok!! The ultimate fashion trend is wearing what flatters your unique figure and personality and makes you feel fabulous ❤️❤️

[@shortyangel2010]

I love strappy back leotards! Particularly for adult basics beginner ballet I'm not doing enough to get tangled (yet) lol. I love the way it shows my back, and it feels more secure than a completely open back?

[@oxoelfoxo]

doubt i'll ever need ballet wear for class but here i am twice over!

[@hannahmcswain9144]

I have the best hack for stirrup tights! I cut a notch in the center of the outer soul of my pointe shoes and stick the stirrup part in there.

[@balletreign]

THANK YOU KIND SOUL ❤️❤️ we will def try this out 😆😆

[@brianne9]

Smart!

[@user-se8sy8ex6l]

The left one is litarly my favorite warm up 😂

[@balletreign]

Haha you know it 😆😆

[@saturnosring]

I used to wear biketards when I danced ballet in my teens, and that was the comfiest thing in the world. All the class we had one of each colour, and it was so fun when we accidentaly wore them all at the same time. It was like a rainbow! I was electric blue 💙💙

[@aSUGAaddiction]

Learned that J and E have a traditional yet trendy fashion sense. I love y'all videos. Its what i clean my bedroom to.

[@balletreign]

lol thank u sm for watching today! 😆😆 happy to be good company ✨✨

[@shieldmaidenforchrist1310]

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.

[@oxoelfoxo]

dancers in tropical countries probably feel the same way you do

[@scarlettwinters5642]

I started dancing in Southern Oregon as well! Where did you take?

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

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. As for the 🦖costume, I cannot get enough of these videos! ballet, grocery shopping, American ninja contestant, etc 🤣 Thank you for a very fun video! 🙏💕🎭🎼💃🕺🪩

[@balletreign]

American ninja 🦖 we’re dying 🤣🤣

[@mizachop1620]

I am an animation student and this is such a great video for looking at what people actually wear to ballet classes. My personal favorite is the asymmetrical hiked up pants, next to the garbage pants ❤️❤️

[@karenbertke3149]

19:25 Colored tights... My grandfather was the regional sales manager for Hanes in the Midwest. Any sales samples left over fell to his grandchildren. The 1960-1970s meant beautiful bright colors in odd combinations.... Hose and leotards too...

[@kaelinli2753]

I had a student who wore an inflatable Barney the dinosaur suit to Halloween class. Instant hit!

[@rosyface_]

I’m a unitard wearer, but only with a big baggy pair of shorts or a skirt over the top. Never on its own!

[@balletreign]

Good point! a skirt or shorts can save any outfit 😆😆

[@katherenewedic8076]

​@balletreign the point of a unitard is to see the beauty of body in motion uninterrupted noncompetative with the outfit

[@user-se8sy8ex6l]

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?

[@balletreign]

Warmups ftw 🙌🏻 we def recommend space boots for anyone, but for students it is probably better to keep them just for warming up before class and remove before entering studio/class starts. Hope this helps! 😉😉

[@user-se8sy8ex6l]

Thank you 🫶🏻

Hi there! Love your videos :). I have been wondering, when I watch them, if maybe you will tell us more about your individual stories with ballet, what are you doing now (where do you teach and what led you to teach), and what method do you follow (since you made the video about all the methods) 😊.

[@mermaidopulence8539]

Ok so I actually love making and wearing tights tops, I actually just found more old tights that I'm going to use to make more. 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.

[@Avanell]

Legwarmers also are great for winter, camping/backpacking

[@brianne9]

So are space booties! Some of the camping brands sell almost the same thing.

[@FireBird.37]

Y’all have such good ballet fashion sense❤ It blows my mind of all the ideas that y’all come up with! P.S I love the trash bag pants!!! They’re so fashionable and unbelievably comfortable

Ooh! This is going in as one of my favorite Ballet Reign videos of all time! So cool and interesting to see all the different types of clothing ballet dancers wear in class. I just take a ballet barre class, but I was still intrigued here the whole way through :D Never knew there were so many things in a ballet dancer's wardrobe haha!

[@balletreign]

Wow thank you! So glad you liked this video 😆😆. It’s def fun to curate all sorts of items for ur dance wardrobe ✨

[@emmamcadams1462]

Your love of the bullet point SAB skirts made me swoon! I remember my SAB skirt dearly. I saw them for the first time when I went to the Boston Ballet summer intensive, and my roommate was kind enough to go fabric shopping with me and show me how to use her skirt as a pattern to cut my own. I felt so cool being the first one to wear one at my ballet school the next year. There’s no ballet skirt more perfect!

[@bonnibell]

Omg my uniform is a leotard with strappy backs and a wrap skirt lol

[@lauramathews3151]

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.

[@jocy_dew]

This is like two set violin but for ballet

[@itsmealaina]

I love that you guys have a somewhat traditional fashion sense!! I love modern too, but sometimes its easy to get lost and going back to the basics is a great way to find your own style. Keep up the great work!! 🫰🏻 Edit: any ballet wrap skirts you recommend?

[@balletreign]

Thank you! We do enjoy a more traditional style. As for wrap skirts, Bodile has some lovely ones, and Mirella wrap skirts are always great- we def recommend Mirella wraps for students ☺️☺️

Happy birthday Jordan!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Space boots! Love mine but I tend to fall of the edge of the boot 😬 so I don’t wear them a lot. Would love advice on how to keep them centered on my feet 😂 I’ve also migrated to skorts because I can wear them outside of class (double duty!!!). I do have a floofy skort and it amuses me during turn combos 😊

[@balletreign]

Thanks, lol. Eden was just being goofy 😅😅 Space boots weren’t meant to do a full class in, you will def slip off the edge bc of the loose nature of the boot. Most dancers keep them on just for warming up, plies, and maybe tendus but not much more than that. Twirly skirts are always fun to turn in! 😆😆

Long time since I was in a class hehe, here are my yays -wrap sweaters: my loves -lace/mesh leotard: i do enjoy a minimalist or a bit sexy one i must admit, especially with long sleeves but getting a good fit is more difficult ^still wear these! -stirrup tights and booties are essentials Will never like a super floaty skirt though!

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. 🙃

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!

[@nenya3273]

i did gymnastics as a kid, and i'm so seconding the strappy leotards bit. we were constantly fixing each others leos. on the other hand, brighter and bolder patterns were a huge thing for us, i think because gymnastics clubs (at least the ones i was a part of) didn't/don't really have a dress code. some kids even wore cami tops and gk or soffee shorts instead of leotards, although we weren't allowed to in the week before competitions

[@jane_edits13.]

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 🥹

For lace Leo’s I think it depends on the design…I absolutely love my full lace, long sleeved leotard…it’s stunning but is very hot to dance in (it’s long sleeve and full zip back with a collar 😅)…I’m definitely an advocate for tights over Leo’s cos when I need to pee I need to pee…stroppy Leo’s, if they’re wider straps I like them cos the skinner ones make me feel like a ham 😅 patterned Leo’s I love especially in winter cos it hides perky nips 😅 and definitely a big fat yes to Bloch booties…I bought a pair during lockdown in 2020…and then ended up buying another pair to wear as house slippers cos they were so warm 😊

[@balletreign]

Thanks for sharing ur experience! We def wear space boots at home during the cold winter months 😆😆

[@ilovetotri5836]

no idea why im watching this, I have nerver been and probably will never be able to take a ballet class, but Im kinda investetd in the outfit now ;)

[@kneea]

the bloch booties are ridiculously expensive anyone have any cheaper recommendation?

[@balletreign]

We’ll keep an eye out! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SolElarien]

I’m not a ballerina but a doctor, would you think it appropriate to change my clogs for some space boots? I really like the idea❤😂

[@balletreign]

They don’t offer much support, but they def keep the feet comfy and warm! We def think it’s worth a try 🫰🏻🫰🏻😉😉

[@robinhelmstreit8219]

This nurse says "absolutely not". Huge fashion risk! 😂

[@Stonebrick]

Very lucky to be pale as all hell- ballet pink doesn’t create much contrast on me. I can just go for the usual slippers

[@Sujowi]

Whatever happened to RAD exam tunic?…white sharkskin fabric with a pink sash. With the ridiculous regulation hairdo …a la Sylphide…in the 1960s. Just all gone.

[@honeypie602]

my ballet school has a strict dress code. no trash bag pants for me :'(

[@jackson5802]

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

[@Avanell]

Tights over leotard: yeah, once you are an adult taking for fun or as a professional. Or college classes But some adult students don't get the memo its okay. Once adult program I went to had a strict dress code...skirts even required. Yeah, didn't go there for long.

[@balletreign]

Lolll it’s nice to have a little freedom that’s for sure ✨✨

[@overgrownkudzu]

yeah that makes no sense. in adult classes, nobody is there to be a pro, so they should be a bit more relaxed

[@anniemeyers1821]

​@@overgrownkudzu different things make different people feel comfortable in class 🤷‍♀️

[@carissagreen9595]

Tights over is ugly. Looks like underwear on the outside. I wear leggings over, if I'm going to wear shoes with bare feet.

[@user-ur1bb1sr5r]

I like it a lot.

[@MCan-hh2zm]

Lol! The cut tights above the knee look like Spanx!

[@michellewilkes6329]

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.

[@ellenspear50]

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

[@balletreign]

Would love to talk about this in another vid! 😉😉✨✨

[@faerienightingale9100]

No•2:~ Stirrup Tights.... Surely they're also incredibly impractical? I always found that my feet seemed more 'slippy'😖

[@balletreign]

we def haven’t figured them out lol 😂

[@daniellem6933]

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.

[@carissagreen9595]

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

[@justinchristoph3725]

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

[@balletreign]

Stay tuned for part 2! 😉😉

[@Upstaged07]

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

[@justinchristoph3725]

@@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.

[@waltraute9]

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?

[@Upstaged07]

@@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.

[@lyndacapocefalo8167]

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😊

I’m coming back to ballet after many years what is a good brand for the trash bag pants?

[@isabellaawang]

calling all ballet dancers: need reccs for trash bag pants please!!! i grew out of mine and i’m looking for a new brand since i didn’t like them very much anyway

[@user-ue8db7yi2j]

Where did you get your rompers? I am a dancer with chronic pain and I LOVE warmups I need a romper

[@balletreign]

Pretty much any big Dancewear brand will make rompers- WearMoi, Bloch, RubiaWear, BodyWrappers, etc. We highly recommend rompers, and hope this helps you! ☺️☺️

[@rebelmama37]

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!!!
