![]() If a male dancer wears socks, look for thin ones with lycra or some other material that makes them thinner and close fitting. Dance belts may be hard to find for young boys, in which case you may ask the teacher about an alternative such as “Boy’s briefs” for dancing. Ballet is about clean lines, not seeing undergarments. Plus, underwear can be seen under tights and other close-fitting clothing. Underwear should never be worn with tights in a ballet class, as it doesn’t offer the required support and protection. A dance belt appears invisible under tights, to avoid ugly lines. A boy starts wearing a dance belt around the same time as he does an athletic support for use in sports. ![]() It fits tighter than an athletic supporter and has a thong back, although there are full bottom dance belts available. The traditional colors in ballet are a white top and black bottom.Ī “dance belt” is a male dancer's version of an athletic supporter and is worn instead of underwear. This has a two-fold purpose: to keep the tights at waist height and to have the Army/Navy belt act like a visual hip alignment for body placement. Generally, the top of the tights are doubled over an Army/Navy web belt that is around the waist and turned under one full revolution to hold up the tights. A leotard can have the normal full bottom or a thong back model. If a leotard is worn, it’s worn underneath the tights. Dance shirts are sold at dancewear stores and are generally a cotton/lycra shirt, so it fits snuggly around the body. If a t-shirt or dance shirt is worn, it is tucked into the tights. Dancewear made for men is thicker and stronger than unisex or women’s tights. Available dancewear is rather limited to male dancers as compared to female dancers. They can also wear a unitard or biketard. We feel that rather than focus too much attention on the “style” of movement that is being taught, parents should choose classes for their children based on how the instructor works with their students.The dress code for Dallas Ballet Center Boys taking Creative Movement class and up to Boys II class, we ask that you wear traditional young boys dance attire: shorts, t-shirt (tucked in), thin white socks, and ballet shoes (canvas or leather).įor Boys II classes and higher the dress code includes the following: black tights or running pants with a white tucked in T-shirt and a dance belt preferably white ballet shoes with white socks but black ballet shoes are acceptable. That is why all of the owners, directors, and teachers of Creation Station encourage parents to shop around and try many different studios before choosing one that they feel is appropriate. Because dance classes are unregulated in the United States anyone can open up a studio and “teach” children. The Creation Station philosophy lies in the belief that by combining a nurturing, non-competitive environment and encouraging kids to develop their own personal, artistic, and educational strengths, allows them to tap into their imaginations in a way that is vastly different from any other traditional dance school. Many of our students have gone on to dance professionally, join Dance Companies and dance on Broadway, while others have just enjoyed the Creation Station Dance Program for its self esteem building attributes that stay with our students long into early adulthood. All of the CSA classes are structured and fairly rigorous for the child wanting to bring their dancing to the next level but still maintains the fantastic developmental approach to dance. This next level of Creation Station is for the dancer who wants a more formal training situation, but doesn’t feel the need to be placed in a competitive atmosphere like most other dance studios. Once your child turns 6, they transition seamlessly into the Creation Station Academy (CSA) program. ![]() We help children develop and practice social, physical, and gross motor skills, but our major focus is the FUN!
