What to wear for a beginners ballet class tryout?

I was very anxious not knowing what to wear for my first class, bacause I didn't have any slippers or a leotard, but I called the school and they told me what should I wear and stuff, because I didn't want to buy ballet shoes and clothing without knowing if I would like the class or not. I'm here to help you if you are thinking of going at a tryout class.

The only rule is comfiness, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and that is stretch approved, because you don't want to rip your pants while stretching muscules. I recommend wearing some long leggings, because them it will be easier to slide when stretching on the floor.

I don't think there is a specific top that you have to wear, it can be a flowy blouse or a tank top, but one time my teacher was saying that wearing a tight shirt can help to see the spine alignment and the posture.

Like all beginners I didn't have ballet slippers, than I wore a pair of socks for the first week, a good pair of thick sneackers socks can be a good ballet shoe for your tryout.

Hair always tied! This is very important, because you don't want to dance and have your hair always coming at your face. I recommend doing bun or a ponytail or even a braid, but the bun is the best thing because there won't be any hair moving around while you dance.

Hope this helps someone that is thinking about joining a ballet school, and hope you have a great day.
