Boys Dance Wear
Dance is a form of art that has been part of human culture since time immemorial. It is a way of expressing a person’s emotions, a mode of social interaction and sometimes a form of non-verbal communication in human beings. Dance has evolved with mankind’s every development. It is evident by the multiplicity of different dance styles and forms of dance that include; jazz, tap, ballet, contemporary dances and hip hop dances, all of which are unique in their attire requirements.
Overtime we see a change in popular dance wear. Girls dance wear has much more to select from whereas boys dancewear is pretty standard with not much variety or uniqueness with it.
In Hip hop dance for instance, there is a lot of creativity and improvisation involved and dances are being invented all the time. Boys dance wear has sub-branches such as clowning, break-dancing and step-dancing. Hip hop boys dancewear on the other hand is a combination of trendy and fashionable dance wear that has comfortably fitting designs that are intended to meet the requirement of a particular dancer. It normally matches with baggy jean trousers and shorts, baggy cargo shorts, crotch pants, oversized t-shirts, college jackets, baseball hats, boots, and sneakers depending on the dance style and occasion the attire is intended for. In this regard, the attire could be artistically customized, at times depending on the theme of the dance or the dancer’s desires and comfort.
For ballet boys dancewear the attire includes tights and a pair of ballet slippers or ballet boots, a dance belt, and leotards. Jazz boys dancewear includes jazz pants or at times jazz suits and jazz dance shoes. Contemporary boy’s dancewear is characterized by tights or leotards, while for contemporary ballet, ballet slippers or boots.

Tattoo Ballet Wear
A tattoo is a sign of distinction. It helps a person express their own personality and individuality. Whether it represents a personal belief, a devotion or is a work of art, tattoos stand out and makes the individual with the tattoo stand out as well. For most people this is not a problem and in many cases it is welcomed but when a dancer belongs to a dance troop, does the tattoo take away from the dance?
Of course in break dance and hip hop a tattoo is almost required. It just seems to go with the style. In ballet or contemporary, where the emphasis is on the group and not the individual, a tattoo ballet wear can easily take away from the performance and cause a distraction from the performance as a whole.
With thousands of individuals getting tattoos every months is it unfair to ask the dancer to remain pure from any tattoos? Many dance troops have no issue with tattoos as long as the dancer can cover it in some way for the performance. Many artists express themselves through tattoos but a dancers art is the movement of their body and if a large dragon tattoo on their shoulder is going to distract the viewers from the performance or costumes then it becomes a problem.
Many dancers approach this dilemma responsibly and creatively by positioning their tattoos in inconspicuous locations such as their hip, by coving the tattoo with makeup for the performance or with adequate ballet wear.
Like all individuals, a tattoo is something that you should not jump into spontaneously. You need to live with it for a long time and if it is a direct conflict with your occupation or lifestyle then you need to consider the implications of it. Plan your tattoo, consider the image thoroughly and find a trustworthy tattoo parlor and artist.

Went to see some First Nations Dancing yesterday with my family and I have to say it was an amazing performance. Every Wednesday during the summer you can drive out to Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump in Southern Alberta for a free (yes I said FREE) performance by First Nations dancers. First Nations people have some of the most beautiful character dancewear ever created and mostly they are hand made by family members. The fabric and animal hide is covered in beads, porcupine quills, feathers and metallic jingles. Even the childrens dancewear was colorfully decorated and embellished with beads and quills.
A couple of my favorite dances include the Jingle Dress Dance, Men’s Fancy Dance and Chicken Dance. The Jingle dress is amazing character dancewear! The dance was originated with the Ojibway Tribe and is a welcoming dance performed only by women. They wear a knee high dress embellished with rows of metallic jingles sewn to the fabric. They dance to the beat of the drum and make their dresses jingle with the lightest step.
The character dancewear of the the men’s fancy dance is very colorful with two elaborate feather bustles and thousands of colorful beads.
The First Nations dance wear is truly a work of art and love for a culture so enriching and beautiful.
