Question
Dear Connie...
I'm starting to take ballet classes in two weeks (for the first time), and I was wondering what I should wear.I'm not sure if I should come in normal training clothes or in a leotard...
Kind regards
Mathilde

Answer
You can't go wrong with a plain black leotard and pink tights.  Bring some black shorts along as well to put on if you feel like wearing a bit more clothing.  After that first class you can judge what to wear for the next class by the other people.  Have fun!

Expertise

I can answer lots about ballet, specifically the Vaganova syllabus. I'm still training, but both my parents were professional dancers, so most answers will be coming from them, not me. :) They're the experts. Obviously, questions about difficult technique, etc, would be better answered with someone else, but if you're just becoming interested in dancing, or are having problems with basic steps, like pirouettes or plies, then I may be able to help

Experience

I've seen ballet since the age of 0, because of my parents, and I am training to become a professional dancer now.
