Two dudes I overheard in a campus bookstore:
“Hey Bro, did you get all that stuff we’re supposed to get for ballet class yet?”
“Yeah. Except the belt. Can’t I just wear my own belt? I don’t get it, those tights we had to buy don’t even have belt loops.”

Ballet is definitely not the easiest thing to get in to, so many strange items and customs! Tell them to read the “tools of the trade” column on my blog if you see them again, that should clear things up a bit!
I totally will. After I stop giggling.
win! I would have opened my mouth and told them a ‘dance belt’ was pretty much a ‘jock strap’
Oh, heck no! The Adult Beginner does not discuss underpants with strange men in public places. No, making fun of them later is definitely the more lady-like route.
