“Pants for tall babies” 😂👌🏻

[@fishpee_1]

if anyone needs help with sizes i’m a size 8 in street shoes. my ballet shoe size for the brand Capezio is 10.5! this may be different for other brands but if you are the same size as me and looking to buy capezio shoes then this is for u :)

[@ambercraighead3904]

I'm buying capezio shoes in 2 days, they're my first ballet shoes ever, and I'm a size 8. I was so confused about the sizes! I was going to get a size 10. Thanks for posting this!

[@laurazavala5890]

I'm a 8.5-9 in street shoes and bought an 11!

[@cassie9210]

Thank you! I’ve consistently seen comments that say you need to size up 2.5 sizes, despite websites saying 1-2 sizes. I wanted to clear it up before I ordered.

[@ashledashnaw2575]

There is way more to proper shoes measurements than just that. You got the box, the shank, and the vamp to worry about. Nobody's foot measures the same

[@spirals73-s4c]

I have Blochs. I wear a 9.5 in street, 7.5 in soft slippers.

[@CuteNoririn]

I love the Capezio tights and Wear Moi leos as well. For the hair net: Bunheads has some "Heavy duty" type of hair net, 1 piece per packaging instead of 3 but much much more durable. Another recommandation for slippers: So Danca canvas split sole, canvas slippers can be thrown into the washing machine every now and then, can't really do that with leather. Thank you for your videos and your efforts to introduce ballet to adult beginners! :)

[@Evelyngant]

My personal list would be: A Nikolai brand leotard these Leo’s are sleek cute cheap and functional Capezio canvas flat shoes Light pink or nude tights (capezios porcelain color is great) Bullet pointe black ballet skirt Warm ups (take off after plies) Suffolk flared leg warmers A light weight puffer vest Tools: Insulated water bottle Large tote bag Extra hair kit Theraband to warm up your foot muscles

[@tatinightmare]

I wish I had saw this before buying my last pair of tights I was inbetween sizes and went with my “normal size” and now the tights squeeze the life out of my waist. I feel like a snow man 😂

[@helanitorres9407]

[@_clareamel]

if you cut a slit right in the back waistband and wear them under a leo you're all good!!

[@madisondean1074]

I need those heavy duty bobby pins! I have so much hair to a pointe (pun intended) that it's almost impossible for me to do a bun unless my hair is wet!

[@shortyangel2010]

I have gotten some great So Danca leotards with a padded bra section

[@LadyBlack22]

I also love love love those tights. Love them.

[@pampotenzo3881]

Thank you so much. Very helpful. You are the best!

[@thenoire17]

This is very helpful. Thank you!

[@leothegrape6730]

Do you have different recommendations for male ballet dancers? I believe the dress code is different but I'm new to this so I may have misunderstood.

[@CuteNoririn]

Slippers, a pair of tights or leggings and a tight fitting shirt, so the posture can be corrected. The male dancer at my class wears long workout tights and a tight sports shirt with his slippers.

[@tehilaroseman]

Dance belt, male black tights, tight fitting black tank top or short

[@porter88030]

​@tehilaroseman dance belt?

[@tammystiletto]

@@porter88030a jock strap or very supportive sport underwear.

[@tammystiletto]

The male dancers in some of my adult ballet classes wear joggers that are the more fitted kind. It depends on your studio but your teacher can be very helpful at suggestions.

[@belindacharles7146]

This was very helpful!

[@ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy]

Do you have any recommendations for bigger dancers?

You are soo nice ty for the lessons

[@_reema_]

Hi! I love your vids 🥰 I just wanna ask when did you started ballet because I’m 14 and I think l’m to old to start 💞

[@TatyianaMcGahee]

I believe she started at 16, but you're never too old to start! Get out there and have fun! 🖤

[@temp_unknown]

Never too old to start dancing for fun or fitness!!

[@thebelatedballerina5396]

It’s never too late to start I started at 20! ✨🖤

[@shortyangel2010]

Its not too late! I started in my late 20s!

[@sushidashi6152]

@@thebelatedballerina5396 I’m 21 this year and I’ve always wanted to learn since I was like 6 years old. Was it difficult starting out? And do you have any tips?

[@christinam9027]

I am born with 6 fingers on each feet and it's really hard for me to find ballet shoes ,does somebody know from where I can buy large in the front ballet shoes?

[@WillowWaffle]

😂

[@LIa-d6s]

Try Bloch wide ballet shoes

[@ashledashnaw2575]

You can't have fingers on your feet, and you're not a ballet dancer if you don't know the proper name of the parts of the shoes nor the proper name of the shoes, also not knowing where to get them is a tall tale indicator you don't dance either. Take some actual classes

[@crystalarmstrong1127]

On the hair clip thing what if you were born with thin hair

[@mysticzyoga]

Hi, One thing I know about having thin, fine, straight hair is we almost have to treat it the same as super curly hair, (gentlly and with different product than thick straight or wavy hair.) I learned this from an 80 year old hairdresser. I'm not a dancer but, I like using Palmers hair creme, (when hair is dry,) after brushed into place for the pony portion, and then using it on the tail before wrapping.) we don't need to much but, it adds some volume and control.) Oh, I see your comment is 2 years old, hope this helps another one of us straight, thin fine hair people.

[@Dan-u1n]

any tight recomandations? im very skinny and tall, im almore 6ft with long legs and no tights fit me good, they always hang low weirdly

[@thecatladytm7172]

If you cant afford or simply cant find any ballet classes in person, is there any online resource you find helpful for learning? I took ballet as a kid but had to stop once I left the school it was an elective in. I would love to pick it back up, despite my scattered memories, but I dont have the money to pay for lessons.

[@modtomodern]

KZbin videos.

[@theclownsjoke]

Wait if u don’t wear underwear, then how do ppl deal with menstrual cycles??

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Some people do prefer to wear underwear! Sometimes dancers wear shorts over their leotard to give more coverage just in case there’s an accident. A lot of dancers prefer to wear tampons (some wear menstrual cups but that’s more challenging). If you’re using tampons you don’t need to disguise a pad. I haven’t tried but I imagine you could put a wingless liner onto a leotard?? I’ve also seen period underwear specifically designed for dancers which would be a great option if you usually prefer pads!!

[@tammystiletto]

I use a wingless pad in my tights. There are period tights now similar to period underwear. Some wear tampons or a cup with a liner for any leaks. Some schools allow you to wear tights over the Leo’s (this is a common debate over whether it’s helpful or comfier or not) and some schools allow you to just add shorts if you feel the need. It’s also the type of atmosphere where it’s so normal and understandable and that takes away a lot of the anxiety

[@petrichorweather350]

Oo i have wide feet , too😭😭💔

[@tammystiletto]

Bloch! Love them

[@rjimenez1608]
