<p>Even though the bottom line is that you should be comfortable, I think most college will advise against wearing sweatpants for dance, as people like to see your body move. A flattering leotard over tights with shorts or jazz pants will do the trick. </p>
<p>My D just went through the audition process this fall and what worked well for her additionally was a solid colored wrap dress over a leotard with tights and short spandex type shorts. That way she did not have to spend a lot of time to change from one thing into another (in some case you will have loads of time, other times you don’t). </p>
<p>We also saw other girls who wore dress pants with a nice top and so if you are not comfortable in a dress, pants are fine too. I would recommend staying away from jeans, however nice they may look. We saw very few people in jeans; more girls overdressed with strappy heels :).</p>
