Adam and Eve- Larkin Dance Studio



Larkin was always the studio to watch out for or just watch at the competitions because they were so amazing.

At Home Ballet Bar

I think it is great to have a ballet bar at your house. You can never do enough at the bar. Ballet is the core of all dancing, so when you are doing ballet you are improving all of your styles. Having a ballet bar is also great for stretching and practicing placement. You can also do exercises with it.

Great At Home Videos

I think it is great to have younger kids get dance videos to practice at home. I do think they should be in a class with a teacher to help them with certain things but practicing at home with videos is a great way to remember what they learned and also be prepared for what is to come in future classes. Discount Dance has many videos on all sorts of things. I love to do things at my house that will improve my dancing with out actually dancing.

Amazing "Hometown Glory" Solo



I love the song Hometown Glory and this dance was so good. Her lines were so beautiful and I loved everything about it. I love watching random solos and dances on youtube so I can try to branch my own style out.

Modern Shoes

I was looking at shoes on Discount dance and I saw these for the first time. They look so comfortable with the stretchy fabric they used. I love finding new things I can try and hopefully they work out great! I really want to try these!

Yeah 3x By Chris Brown



I am obsessed with Chris Brown and mostly his dancing. I love that he was a dancer before he was a singer. His music videos are always so sick and I love dancing to his songs cause they always have an awesome beat. Plus I love the little kid in the beginning!

Shredded Red And Black Tutu

Found this Tutu at dancewear solutions and I love it. It is so different from a normal tutu in that it is shredded and two colors. This could be great for a different or kind of weird dance. I think it would be cute if you used it in a dance like ramalam bang bang, or let the drummer kick or something of that sort.

Shinny Rhinestones Look Great On Stage

When the girls wear their hair in just buns I like to add a little something to jazz it up. I love these rhinestone hairpins. I usually wrap the the entire bun with them and on stage these look so great! When they catch the light the shine so much!

Great Simple Gift

I wanted to get a little something for all of the staff at the studio for finishing a great show. I didn't want to get something crazy and have something just simple. I found this calendar on Discount Dance Supply. Is was perfect for them. They all loved each of George Balanchine's photos.

Super Cute Open Back, Criss Cross Leotard

I love that Discount Dance Supply has such a large selection of things, especially their leotards. I just bought this leotard from there and I love it. The back is so pretty. I love how open the back is and the cross is so cute. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it too. This would also be a good Christmas present.

Dance Dolls Will Make The You Shine

For some dances I think it looks really cool to have glitter on the girls. I have been using Dance Dolls from Discount Dance for a while now and it works so great. It covers really well and gives the girls a great shine on stage when the lights hit them. It adds a a great touch to the dance and costume.

Super Cute Dance Sweats

I really like these sweatpants I found on Discount Dance Supply. They could work for a hip hop dance of some sort, or even to sell at the studio or a class! Every year the hip hop teams at my studio will order sweatpants or some type of clothing and these would be totally cute to get as a class. Getting your name or the team name on the leg would be super cute!
