Tutus, Tutuses, Tutuses!: This summer, it’s all about tutus, whether it's for class or a special event. Embrace all colours, from soft pinks to bolder blues, and experiment with different lengths and textures. But my favourite has to be the classic pink tutu – so much romance and grace!
Disco-Themed Outfits: A little sparkle never hurts! Channel those vibrant 70s vibes with a chic black leotard, a silver sequined skirt and sparkly ballet shoes. Don't forget the glitter eyeshadow for that disco glam look!
