Full Body Tights Give A Clean Look

I have a dance where the group is wearing a shorty unitard. From past experience I know that wearing normal tights does not look good. it cuts off their hip and gives them an awkward line. These full body tights are great for unitards or even leotards. There are no awkward lines and makes the overall look cleaner. Even in just ballet class these are nice for you leotard.

Mix And Match With Knit Tights

I LOVE these knit tights! They are so great for the winter. They not only keep you so warm but are so cute with the roll over waist. You can mix and match so many colors for each look.

Smiley Face Toe Tape

Every dancer knows how dance treats your feet. Sometimes you need tape but it is hard finding tape that stays on while you dance. I started using smiley face toe tape from discount dance. It works so nice and stays on forever! I always keep a lot at the studio now for anyone who needs tape because it is the best.

Leg Warmers For The Winter

With the winter here it's not good to start dancing with cold muscles. In the winter I always start off my class with leg warmers. They help my muscles warm up fast prevent me from hurting any muscles. I prefer the stirrups, other wise it is way too slippery for me. The pink strips at the top add a cute touch too. I always recommend my dancers to wear these in the winter.

Awesome Purple Hip Hop shoes

I love hip hop shoes. They are just so fun. If you have hip hop shoes to dance in you know that if feels so much better to dance in them rather than bare foot. You just get more in to it. These are awesome! I love love love purple and the ankle is higher which I also love. I really want these!!

Dance Quotes

"The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing... there are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words. There are movements which impinge upon the nerves with a strength that is incomparable, for movement has power to stir the senses and emotions, unique in itself. This is the dancer's justification for being, and his reason for searching further for deeper aspects of his art." ~Doris Humphrey, 1937

This website has so many cute dance quotes. Our studio has many quotes along the walls hopefully to inspire or remind the dancers why they are there and why they love to dance.

Yoga Pants Great For Dancing

I love dancing in yoga pants. It's like having tights and bottoms on all at the same time but way more comfortable. Victoria's Secret yoga pants are my favorite. They are so comfortable and so cute. I feel more comfortable dancing in something I feel good in.

Fighting Gravity = Amazing!

I watched most of America's Got Talent this year except for the end but I know my favorite was the group Fighting Gravity. Everything they did was so amazing! I know you couldn't really do much of the stuff at a competition but at your own recital, if you could do something like they do that would be the best show!!

Beat Freaks Rocked It Out Like Men

I watched the first two seasons of America's Best Dance Crew and then didn't really get into it that much again but I think I am going to start watching it again when it comes out again. One of my favorite dances though was from the Beat Freaks during the illusion challenge. They had the floating ball in their dance but that wasn't even the best part, they were so amazing! They can dance like men. They are ridiculous.

Lesser Known Artists/Songs Are Much Better For Performances

My friend just told me about an artist names Tyler Ward so I checked him out on youtube and I fell in love with the first song I heard from him. They might be great dance songs. You could put so much behind it. I also love using songs and artists that people have never heard before.

Comfortable Leotard And Uniforms

At our studio we have "uniforms". All of the dancers wear the same leotard and shorts. This is the leotard this year and it is so nice. They are so comfortable an they don't fall low in the front. If the straps were too long for the girls, it was an easy fix for them to shorten them. I personally love these leotards. I also suggest having uniforms at studios because it makes cleaning dances and doing lines a lot easier. The girls are also not distracted by what they are wearing and other girls are wearing.

Cute Ballerina Statues

I wanted to get something for the staff at the studio and I found these cute little dancer figurines. They are so cute and I can't wait to give them to the staff.  They were only $16.95 for the whole set. I hope they like them!
