The physical stereotypes of a woman in classic ballet have changed throughout history, showing an influence on the making of costumes that dancers wear on stage. This research project presents the history of classical ballet, the parameters that it requires and the evolution of its costumes. Furthermore, through interviews with dancers, teachers and seamstresses of Medellín, the
guidelines established for classic ballet are presented, as well as their influence in the confection of the costumes, and how these factors limit their careers as ballet dancers.
