Beautiful Ballet Costume

I think ballet costumes are absolutely beautiful. They were definitely my favorite costumes to wear. That is why I was always bummed when we would just wear simple leo and tutu for ballet. This costume is so beautiful and elegant. White looks really good on stage. You just have to make sure the fabric is thick enough because you don't want a see though costume!

Work Out In Unison

When Practicing as team it is a really good thing to dress alike whether it is dancing or lifting. It shows your team is serious about what they do. This top is so cute, and I feel it would be a nice shirt to work out in. The back is cute out so it would be cool, and if it was for a school team you could definitely get your school embroidered or printed on the front!

Try A New Hair Style For The Stage!

I have found that I absolutely love when dancers have curly hair for their performances. It really looks nice and it is something different than just having the hair straight. I also thinks it stays out of their faces better than straight hair!

So You Think You Can Dance Not At Its Best?

I don't know about anyone else but I am loving the dancers on this season of So You Think You Can Dance! On the other had I am not so impressed with all of the choreography. I feel like this season none of the peaces really stick out that much. There aren't any really emotional ones like there have been in the past. I am waiting for that really crazy contemporary dance that makes me cry and want to watch it over and over again like gravity, calling you, flower, falling, collide ect. I can't tell you how many times I have watched those over and over again, and I haven't really done that with any of the dances this season! :(

Oh my gosh.. what I would have done to have a dance floor in my own house when I was growing up.. I would have been so happy if my parents got me this. When I have a child I am definitely going to have a portable dance floor in my house for her. Just to let go whenever you want to would be amazing.

Bloch's original foot thong with heel strap for the bare foot appearance. Protects the ball of the foot. I really want to try these out. They seem like they would really stay in place and work really well. It is the worst thing when you are in the middle of your dance and your shoe slides forward and is barely on your foot.

Hair Nets Are A Must!

It is a must that all dancers wear a hair net if they aren't wearing a fake bun. I hate it when I see any hairs sticking out of a bun. It really does look so much better when the hair is perfect. I know when I am watching a dance and someone's hair is falling out, it is really hard not to keep looking at her hair.

Light Up Hair Accessories

I know these may seem kind of cheesey but I feel like they would look really cool. It may not work at a competition because you cannot control the lights and it's pretty bright but at a recital when you can make it darker I feel like they would look really cool.

Great For Practice.. Not So Great For Stage

These convertible are really great for practice but I highly recommend you don't use these as cut offs on stage.  If you are wearing them with any shoes they are going to make your tights look dirty and it is hard to get the fold perfect so they just look messy.  Other than that I love practicing with them!
