Why do I have to wear a ballet bun to ballet class?
🧁Balance ~ a ballet bun helps to centre your balance & is the extra orientation you need to stay in one line rather than off to one side.
🧁Turns ~ if your hair is in a ponytail or down you’re going to whip yourself in the eyes as you turn (ouch!) and you can’t turn with your eyes closed!
🧁Discipline ~ ballet requires hard work to train your body & mind, by having your hair in a bun you are already in the correct mindset & a step closer to achieving your best dancing! (A transferable skill in life!)
🧁It helps the teacher ~ if everyone in the room matches, it is easier for us to see exactly what is wrong & who is wrong, this is extremely important in preventing injury!
It can sometimes seem as though ballet is too strict BUT a fun way to show your personality is with your bun! Clips, scrunchies, jewels & braided buns are all ways to make it your own!🧁😍✨⬇️
