they are like stockings but are for summer when it is hot so if you don't like wearing ballet shoes with out stockings you can keep cool in the summer
The American Ballet Theatre summer intensive auditions are usually pretty large. In mine, there were 85 kids in one audition class. Don't psych yourself out and remember to stay calm. Only worry about yourself. Comparing yourself to others is one of the worst things you can do. Be polite, but during the class, do not talk to other students and concentrate on what you are doing. Arrive at ALL auditions tidy and clean. You want to make the best impression you can. But the biggest piece of advice is to worry about yourself, and only yourself. Don't get distracted and stay calm. Good luck!
