  3. Unfortunately for ballet if you want to take it as a full time career there is a preferred figure that ballet Masters like in order to get accepted into a major ballet training school. If you are doing ballet classes more than 4 times a week you’ll find you’ll tone up your muscles pretty fast while enjoying the exercise, movement and music, don’t worry about the other girls keep doing what you love and if you practise and believe in your dreams you’ll go far.

  4. All i can say is, try to shoot for tank style leos that have a higher back to them so that you can wear a bra. I know that http://www.discountdance.com has some that specify that you can wear bras with them.
    Good luck! ;)

  5. I have heard from many ballet/pointe sites that you can use old ballet tights to fox this problem.
    1.Find a pair of old ballet tights that still fit you around the waist(or around the ribcage)
    2.Cut out the crotch of the tights(hole big enough for your head to go throuhg it)
    3.Cut out the feet of the tights to desired arm length.
    4. You have a pretty home-made ballet bra! Head though the crotch of the tights, arms through the legs, and the place that woud’ve gone around your waist put arounf your ribcage.

  7. if you sew your own material lining inside the leotard so it acts as a sports bra

  8. Charity won’t it just be easier to just buy a sport’s bra instead of tearing up a pare a of tights? :p
