Millie3 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It would be the type worn for normal ballet lessons/exams. The children at easter school always wear a variety of styles - I expect they just don't want children to only take sparkley ott ones. Your dd will love it - so don't worry - she'll soon make friends and have a great few days - then sleep in the car all the way home! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 A classical leotard means a plain coloured leotard (usually black or another dark colour) in a simple style i.e. no fancy trims or lots of straps and normally with spagetti straps. As Millie3 has said above probably your dds normal class/exam leotard will be fine. I think a lot of youngsters use these courses as a chance to wear a special leotard that perhaps doesn't get much wear otherwise but if there is a demonstration for parents at the end it looks a lot neater if they are all wearing something similar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I think they just mean an ordinary 'ballet' leotard rather than a snazzy 'jazz/modern' one! Straceydor, how old is your dd? My dd is going to be on the course too - she's 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 My DD will be there too, she went last year and took a variety of strappy leotards but wore the plainest darkest for the ballet classes and a belt (because she likes to not because she had to). For the jazz and contemporary she wore little shorts over her tights and leo or cropped leggings and either a vest or t-shirt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The houseparents are lovely and the kids are generally in a dorm with several their own age, and they all make friends quickly, and help each other do their buns etc. My dd says it's like living at Hogwarts! They are kept busy the whole time, and I'm sure she will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
