The Black and the Pink ...
Go to a children's ballet class anywhere in the world and you will see black leotards, pink tights, and pink ballet slippers. It is a tradition; it is a code; it is expected. And that's what makes it such a wonderful teaching tool. Children feel an immediate sense of "belonging" to an elite and very special dance school. When a child dons black and pink (black and white for males), with hair worn up and jewelry absent, he or she knows that respectful behavior, concentration, and hard work are done with no excuses accepted. A child feels like a dancer because he or she is dressed and treated like a dancer.
