You’ve gotta express yourself with every dance outfit - just as much as with every move! **Here's a peek into my personal style when it comes to ballet:** * **Leotards**: My faves are either those simple, classic ones in black or white that make you look really sleek. But, I also love playing with those colourful, detailed leotards - the ones with lace or beautiful patterns on them. Just be sure it's a quality leotard. We dancers know a **good one** when we see it. * **Pointe shoes:** I like my pointe shoes to look sleek. Nothing’s more elegant than those nude ones, or a soft pink shade. And when I get a new pair, they are so beautifully made! They are almost like pieces of art. A good pair of shoes is a true investment! * **Tutus:** Honestly, I adore all tutu styles. A romantic, big tulle tutu that just gives a breathtaking fairytale look - totally classic! For performance though, it's the **classic pack tutu** all the way.
