I don't know what you mean by "better to not wear tights". It's actually better to wear tights, it looks much more professional and clean. Another reason to wear tights is because if you are wearing pointe shoes that are just a bit too small and you are not wearing tights, you could get blisters around the back or your heel. If you are talking about modern dance, it is just a mandatory thing to not wear tights sometimes.

How many hours do dancers work?

It depends on the company; I know San Antonio Ballet dancers work from 6-9pm, although I don't remember if that's five or six days a week. Atlanta Ballet, I believe, works from 9 or 10am-7pm, roughly. Other companies I imagine are similar, but it varies depending on the size of the company-some of the smaller, lesser-paying companies rehearse fewer hours so that dancers have time to get a second job (aforementioned SA Ballet, also like San Diego Ballet). Some companies only rehearse for several weeks before a show, and then are off again for a while. Union companies have very stringent requirements on when and how long dancers can rehearse/perform/etc; five days a week during rehearsal weeks and six during performance weeks. During performances, there are extra hours in the evening, which depend on the individual call times, so perhaps for an 8 o'clock show, maybe 5 or 6 till about 10 or 10:30, depending on the length of the show as well.


Could you eat and drink in the globe theatre?

The Globe Theatre was destroyed by fire in 1613. A replacement built the next year was destroyed by the Puritans in 1643. "Shakespeare's Globe" a modern reconstruction of the Globe Theatre was built in 1997 and hosts regular performances. Patrons can eat and drink during performances, food and drink are sold in the theatre before performances and during the interval. While food and drink are perhaps enjoyable during a performance, a the cushions, which are also obtained from vendors, are a necessity. The wooden benches become quite uncomfortable without them.

What musical instruments do they use in ballet music?

In ballet barre (which is the process of training ballet dancers) the instrument used is a piano. The music is broken down into phrases that fit the exercises at the barre. Usually, an accompanist attends the class and creates the music as they hear the teacher create the exercises.In ballets (on stage), a full orchestra is usually used to play the score created by the composer. The Musical Director can change the tempo at any time during the ballet, which challenges the dancers to keep up or slow down with the orchestra. Together, the music and the dance work together to create a full ballet performance!
