Confuddled Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 DD needs a leotard for a Cecchetti competition - I know from another mum that there are strict rules about leotards but last time she was in a group so I just put her in what everyone else was wearing and didn’t have to worry. Is there a list of the rules, or the right type of leotards? From memory it was tank style, quite high necked, with a belt - is that what I need to look for? Do they have rules on colours? I’d be really grateful if anyone can point me to a list of the rules or of the allowed leotards, googling has not been much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encroix Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I've looked at the photos from last year, looks like tank leotards. They're here:http://www.elainemaysonphotography.co.uk/gallery/?parent_id=232 I need to check with DDs teacher what the rules are for this one. For the Wales and West its just plain colour, not black,any type of strap. This looks a bit more plain and uniform. I'll post here when I've got the exact wording. What section is your DD entering?

Peony Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 It’s a plain shiny nylon tank with belt- any colour. The same one that she’ll wear for cecchetti exams. Any colour. Might Hager away with a ruche on the front but definitely no camisoles! https://gandolfi.co.uk/product/all-leotards/gandolfi-navy-official-enrico-sleeveless-leotard-plain-front-with-belt-928/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower Junior, I think. And the exact wording would be great. I need time to order online and send it back if it’s the wrong size, or maybe get it altered (she often needs the straps shortening and my sewing is rubbish, so I need time take it to the dry cleaners and get it back again). 1 hour ago, Peony said: It’s a plain shiny nylon tank with belt- any colour.

Her last exam was similar but cotton and with a ruche, so I suspect I can’t re-use that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peony Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Was it a standard exam she did? I thought the grades all required the shiny tank Leo. The little ones all wear bright colours so I wouldn’t go for black, or white, unless it’s got a good lining! But otherwise anything that is the style of the gandolfi one will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it wasn’t a shiny leotard as she would have complained (she doesn’t like how shiny feels). It’s nice that she’ll have a choice of bright colours.

HopelessMummy Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Plain shiny nylon leotard. Tank, no ruche. No lace or anything fancy. They suggest bright colours to stand out and for pictures. So not navy or black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peony Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think they have to buy a specific leotard from the competition (or included in entry??) but not totally sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Brown Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 sorry to ask but I am curious, why is it so specific for cecchetti? or is it just a competition thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peony Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Does it say cecchetti or enricco style? They are definitely all in shiney leotards the same as the syllabus one. Usually the teachers sort them/ lend them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encroix Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 This is the exact wording from the official information pack: Lower Junior, Junior, Middle Mabel Ryan Awards: A plain sleeveless, round neck leotard as pictured (insert grainy black and white picture here) with or without gathered front, in any colour except black, with matching waist elastic. Camisole or strappy leotards are NOT permitted. Students from the same school must not wear the same colour. So, I think we can agree that it does not specify the leo has to be shiny? Therefore a matte cotton colour should be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peony Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 if it meets the spec I’m sure they can wear it, all I’m saying is that all of the children I’ve seen at the comp have been wearing the shiney nylon so it’s up to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never owned a shiny leo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopelessMummy Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 It's a competition thing. Nylon ones look shiny... I actually emailed the organisers about it last year and this was the response 'the Organiser who has advised that they prefer nylon lycra as it looks better under the lights, but would suggest a different colour than navy. If her other leotard is a prettier colour then the Organiser has suggested that she should wear that.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encroix Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Gosh, it's a minefield. The Gandalfi ones are so low cut on the leg 😭 So, shiny is preferable, but not compulsory is what I am getting from that response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encroix Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Leo sorted.... Never mind that... I've just phoned to book tickets to watch. £17 EACH! 😳 Edited October 18, 2019 by ImgyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
