Requirements:
No tutu is required but a pair of socks and a chair would be enough to start. Some traction between the floor and the foot is helpful, if you have ballet slippers they usually does the trick, however, it is not necessary. In the videos I wear sneakers for dance teachers. Those are comfy as well:)
