Tutus and Toning
Summer ballet isn’t just about grand performances. It's also about staying in top shape while enjoying the beautiful weather. Who says ballet classes have to be stuffy and confined? There are a ton of outdoor ballet classes popping up everywhere – you’ll be dancing in no time under the warm sun, feeling the grass between your toes and a breeze in your hair. It's all about having fun and getting that much-needed summer glow while perfecting those pirouettes.

Step It Up – Street Ballet
Summer screams "new styles"!

Ballet Beyond the Studio
The beauty of ballet is that it can happen anywhere! The park, the beach, your garden – it’s your dance floor, darling. Gather your besties, and why not organize a picnic-style ballet flash mob in the town square? Who can resist a surprise performance of graceful moves and joyous smiles? Let’s get that viral content happening, eh! Don't forget the perfect Instagram-worthy photo with a gorgeous summer background and your dazzling tutu – the ballet community will go wild for it!
The "Tutu Summer" Look
Speaking of tutus, there's no better time to show off your signature ballet style than in summer. Imagine yourself in a bright, playful tutu, paired with a flowy, bohemian top, adorned with colorful jewellery and bold lip colour. Floral patterns and light, airy fabrics are always a hit during summer, especially in bold, uplifting colours like coral, turquoise, or hot pink. (Because let’s be honest, pink just says “ballet fun”, doesn’t it?). And let's not forget the accessories! A statement headband, oversized sunnies for a touch of cool, and boho earrings are all essential pieces for that ultimate ballet goddess look. And remember, even ballet shoes can embrace the summer vibe with colorful ribbons and cute embellishments! Don't be afraid to unleash your creativity and show the world your unique style!
