What is a ballet outfit composed of?
Ballet uniforms are often recommended or even required by teachers so we suggest asking your dance school/association what uniform dancers need.
The perfect dance outfit is a leotard and tights as this will stop your clothing shifting around no matter what move you're performing! You can add a skirt if you like.
As for footwear, you should check with your teacher whether you need full soles or split soles.
Our tip for keeping your muscles warm? Wear a wrap top!
How to choose a ballet outfit
Our motto is fit and comfort. Your leotard and tights should be neither too tight nor too loose. We want to see a smile on your face!
To make sure you're comfortable, do a few moves in the fitting room: raise one arm and lean forwards. Your outfit shouldn't budge.
When it comes to skirts (which aren't always needed), it's a question of style! They should fit around your waist and be able to follow your movements.
All set? Let's hit the dance floor!
Can I mix and match my outfit to suit my tastes?
Of course! Our entire ballet collection has been designed with this in mind!
Choose the leotard that suits you best in the colour of your choice from our seven options:
- Leotards with thin straps that highlight the lines of your body,
- Leotards with wide straps and a square neckline for optimal support and for enhancing the carriage of your head,
- Short-sleeved leotards that cover more of your body for added comfort.
And you can always add a skirt or tutu!
That little extra for carrying your kit
To get you to all of your dance classes, we've designed a cute little bag for carrying all of your kit! Its various compartments mean you can separate your shoes from the rest of your stuff so you won't spend ages searching for your hair pins.Two different sizes are available: the pink is smaller for girls, while the grey (black for autumn/winter 2019) is larger for women.
The small fold-down glittery barrel bag is also ultra-practical!
