First things first: Let's talk wardrobe!
This summer, we're ditching the classic pink tutu for a splash of bold colours. Think fuchsia, hot pink, and even neon. Embrace the energy! Forget your usual plain leotards; let's have fun with cut-out backs, sporty crop tops, and fun statement accessories.
Iām also loving the rise of "Disco Ballerina." Forget those strict buns; let's shake things up with braids and space buns, a pop of colour, and of course, those iconic high platform shoes. Whether you're rocking it at a summer party or channeling your inner ABBA on stage, the 70's vibe is just begging to be re-invented!
