I'm a thirteen year old girl starting up ballet again. I'm not extremely obese, but I'm definitely not a petite tulip. What can I wear to ballet class that won't reveal too much and make me look like an elephant? =D?

And just so you know, the school doesn't have any dress codes that I know of.

For my first ballet class I wore comfortable sem-tight fitting shorts and a fitting tee shirt, not too baggy. For shoes I just wore socks because I hadn't bought ballet slippers yet. But you can easily get ballet slippers and a leotard at a store that specializes in dance wear, or you can even find decent cheap leotards at target! Be sure to put your hair up in a pony tail or bone and pin up loose hairs with bobby pins. Good luck- and have fun! Dance is amazing!

Well, the basic dress code for ballet (this is what it's like where I take it) is a black leotard, pink tights, and leather ballet shoes. We're also allowed to wear a skirt. My advice would be to figure out first what you're supposed to wear, then go from there. If the let you wear gauchos, then try that. If not, try find a solid color skirt or ballet shorts. Also, you can try wearing a jacket (if they let you.) I hope this helps!
P.S. You might also need to keep you're hair in a bun.

well, i went to a private dance school when i was your age and i had to wear a certain leotard according to what class i was in and tights, plus the shoes. if there's no dress code, i'd just wear a t-shirt that's baggy, but not too loose so it won't restrict the movement of your arms. maybe wear a pair of sofi shorts or something. just don't wear something that will get in the way and you'll be fine. i feel you should be graceful when doing ballet, and if you're wearing something that covers everything, then it won't be as recognizable. =)

Well, it depends, because the dance studio i'm going to has a dress code. We have to wear our hair in buns, pink tights, and a black leotard. I suggest that you should wear pink tights, and a black leotard. If you are unconfterable you should wear a skirt [like a ballet skirt that's meshish]. Also you should wear ballet shoes.

most dance studios have a dress code, but if they dont wear a long skirt. Sometimes the teachers will let you wear a camsole. I just wear shorts and sometimes a t-shirt to class. but after all you have to have to know what your dance studio allows in class! good luck
happy dancing!

You should problobly have a sleeveless leotard. If you don't want bare legs, wear pink tights. Don't wear a ballet skirt until your teacher says,or he/she won't be able to see your legs clearly.

Definitely wear a thong under your costume, for no panty lines. I had a bad experience with granny pannies at a recital.
