Starting ballet is exciting! An essential guide on what to wear for your first class:

  1. Leotard: A fitted leotard is usually the standard top. It should be comfortable and allow for ease of movement. You can choose from various styles and colors, but most prefer to go with something classic like black, pink, or navy.
  2. Tights: Ballet tights are essential. They typically come in pink or black and help to create a smooth, streamlined look. Make sure they are footed, not footless, as this is standard for ballet.
  3. Ballet Shoes: Soft ballet shoes (often called ballet slippers) are necessary. They are usually made of canvas or leather and should fit snugly. You can get them in pink or black. Make sure to choose the right size, which is crucial for comfort and proper technique. Do not wear socks! 
  4. Skirt (optional): Some beginners like wearing ballet wrap skirts over their leotards. This is optional and can be added once you feel more comfortable.
  5. Hair: Hair should be neatly styled, typically in a bun or a ponytail, to keep it out of your face while you dance.
  6. Warm-ups: For the beginning of class or when warming up, you might want to wear a warm-up sweater or leg warmers. These can help to keep your muscles warm and prevent injury.
  7. Workout Attire: Form-fitting clothing. Ensure everything fits well and is comfortable, as you’ll be moving a lot! Enjoy your ballet journey!

Testimonial

What does a working mother do after being a "ballet mom" for 15 years? Take ballet class at MCD, of course! Since it’s inception, Melinda Neal has created a professional and dynamic studio where classical ballet as well as other forms of dance are embraced with passion and clarity. She skillfully teaches a traditional ballet class while infusing elements of pilates. Melinda has a solid understanding of body dynamics - translation: her students receive an anatomy class and learn how to dance safely. This is crucial for the growing adolescent as well as for the aging adult to prevent injury. As a senior citizen and as a physician I welcome this approach to classical ballet. Her adult classes are thoughtfully instructed, fun and rewarding, and the students are supportive and kind. Trust me, she makes us work, but somehow time flies in her class. Her classes end with big smiles and sweat. I call it my happy medicine. MCD is a Marin jewel. I can’t say enough about Melinda; she is a professional and inspirational mentor and kind soul. Her generosity to her students is infinite. We are so fortunate to have her in our community.
