What do you think...we are using suit jackets, white shirts, hats and bow ties. I need some ideas for the bottoms. Long pants? Capri length? Tight or loose fitting? This is a ballet piece.Any thoughts would be great.

Well, long pants and or loose fitting can be either positive or negative depending on how you look at it. Is it an advanced class with good technique that you want to show off, or is it a beginner class with bent knees and less technique that you might want to mask it a little. If its beginners, go ahead and go with the long pants because it will hide alot of imperfections in technique. If not, I would go with either capri's of some sort or tight fitting bottoms.

We had a ballet class of Charlie Chaplins a few years back and we used loose-fitting long pants. We also had the girls either spray their ballet shoes black or wear jazz shoes instead. Are you going to give them mustaches? :)
