How well do these work for the ballet?

I would say "super" . I used mine at the Daytona 500 and could see clearly from my seats in the grandstands to pit row.

I have used mine at football games and auto race tracks. They have been great.

sorry - don't know. I only use them to see birds and animals in my back yard at the moment.

Great for football because of the VERY WIDE view. It makes me feel like I am 3/4 of the way closer but still have a wide angle view. this may or may not work for you in a theatre setting.

Just noting that you have gotten 100% ignorant answers since the relevant difference is that you'd be in the dark, while sporting events are in the light. 30mm is plenty big enough to let in adequate light. Most opera glasses are 25mm. This item is listed as a good choice here: http://www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/opera-binoculars-theatre-glasses.php

My Bushnell Sport 4X is assured of never being subjected to a ballet on my watch, but if it were to have ever had the opportunity to witness a ballet it would be a stellar performer. I have so far used it for NFL games and it is exactly what I hoped for. A wide view of the field. I'm sure that it would perform very well for ballet or theater. Please do the glasses a favor, though, and take to at least one professional sporting event in it's lifetime. It only seems fair.

If you clip them on your leg good and arent too wild you should be ok. I use mine for skiing and have no problems.

I use them for both Star Citizen and Elite:Dangerous. I really like them. Sturdy, responsive and a good firm center detent that you can feel easily. They do work well with shoes on, but to me are more comfortable with sock on.

These work especially well for assisted pull-ups and dips. I've used them for resistance exercises as well; push-ups, deadlifts etc. well worth the purchase as far as I'm concerned...

It should work, they stretch good enough for movement but not as much too loose its shape. You should be ok since they fit snugly.

I bought this pair for my daughter but the figure skating instructors said this kind of skates are not very efficient because since they are adjustable the blade and the inside of the skate messes up with the balance of the skater. This was brought to my attention many times for different instructors so I gave them away and bought the white leather pair specific for figure skating. Hope this helped

Depends. I'm not a ballet student and use the barre for stretching to classical music and dvds including basic ballet warm-ups moves. I'm not using it for any cardio-burn-your-fat sort of stuff--simply slower movements. This barre is good for me at 4 feet long with the 2 barres set at 30" and 40" high (the latter about waist high). A 3' long barre would work for me as well. If someone is stretching their entire leg out and she is taller then my 5'4", she may find it a little short because I can stand at one end, facing it, and hold onto the barre, place an outstretched, straight leg on either barre, and my leg just fits. This is a lightweight barre--I can move it around the room with one hand--and is not for pulling on or sitting on (not that we would sit on it, of course). I love mine because it is easy to move, is adjustable, stores by disassembling, and is nice for balance and posture work if not full-weight support. Before this barre, I was using furniture that was wobbly and none too sturdy not to mention the threat of books possibly toppling onto my head. Everyday I find new ways to adapt this barre to my needs and I think you might be able to as well if you remember it is not bolted down and to be careful. Perhaps weighted bags on the feet might help to hold it better in place as I have seen on free-standing barres in ballet classes.

my 8 year old stepdaughter used them. She is a size 2. Was out playing for an hour, stayed on just fine. They are highly adjustable.

HI I used them last winter for snow blowing, during our brutal cold winter, and they worked very well. So well, I bought another pair . I think you will be glad to have them on - on the slopes.

No problems here so far. I've been using them for rehearsals a lot lately, and I've yet to have an issue with them.

My 13 year old daughter bought these and uses them constantly, usually while dancing like crazy. She has had them since Jan and they still work great. My 22 year old has gone through 4 pair of 80 dollar ones in that time. Would buy again

I think they would work well for you. They are flexible and light. I recommend.

I just use them for my computer. And haven't used them during any movement or excercise. They seems to have a tight fit.

They are a hard plastic. And bare feet on aft shoes like ballet are best for gripping.

I just went and tested it out myself, so I could give you an appropriate answer....I am about your height, and a little heavier. I was able to use it just fine, and I think it would work well for you as well! My daughter also uses a product called The Stick before she uses the strap, and it really helped her flexibility improve faster. She uses the stick to roll out her muscles and warm them up, and then she uses the strap. Then she will sit and roll again in places that felt tightest while using the strap, and then use the strap some more to get a really good stretch in those places. She got her splits in just a few weeks doing this, and let me tell you....She was FAR off the ground. Her flexibility really threatened to hold her back from ballet success, and now it is not a serious issue!

We use these them for exercise and/or grappling on the floor. They are of good quality but with Olympic weights I am not sure how they will stand the test of time. I do recommend them though.

I think they would work really well. They make really nice lines and go on very smoothly. The tips do get a little shredded on rougher fabrics.
