Thank you for the reply! Another option I thought of (after I’d posted) was: a sleeveless black unitard with a tank top over it.

Enjoy your day!,

Hi Cristina!

So good for you to be getting back into it! Never too late. Usually for both barre exercise classes or adult ballet open classes the dress code is simply whatever you feel comfortable in. There was definitely a long time when I took full advantage and wore all the warm ups to open classes (even when I was still dancing professionally). However, now as my confidence has grown, I sometimes take open ballet class in just a leotard and tights (granted, black tights over). For barre classes I like leggings and a tank top. I find baggier pants get in the way. Just some things to keep in mind. Whatever you decide to wear, have fun!!
Thanks for your comment.

I guess my question would be (and I apologize if it sounds like a silly one): would such a class like that have a regulated dress code requiring different color leos for different levels of “advancement” within the class? Or(?): none of the professional rules would apply to something which would be more considered just “recreational fitness”?

I love vintage fashion and my favorite choreographer was/is Fosse. I know the solid black look (talking: long sleeve scoopneck Danskin 70s stuff with same color tights) is typically reserved for Jazz and is not Classical-themed attire, but: it’s the furthest extent (related to this topic) I’d feel publicly confident-in willing to go to. Thank you.
