First stop on our shopping adventure is the one and only Scarborough Dance Supplies. It's a true ballet haven tucked away in the heart of the town, with enough dance gear to satisfy even the most avid ballerina. It’s always brimming with friendly staff who truly understand what a dancer needs. The store's layout is easy to navigate, and it’s almost impossible to walk out without falling in love with at least one tutu, maybe even two! 😉

This shop is where I stock up on my basic dancewear. They have a massive selection of leotards in every colour under the rainbow, and they even have gorgeous printed designs featuring adorable animals and floral patterns. Just imagine a whimsical little ballet kitty on your leotard – cuteness overload! They also have an incredible variety of tights, including those super-soft microfibre ones that make your legs feel like they're gliding on air. Don't forget to check out their collection of gorgeous ballet shoes. I recently picked up a pair of soft pink canvas slippers there, perfect for that delicate look I love.

My top pick: For this spring, my absolute favourite purchase is a pastel pink ballet tutu with layers of shimmery tulle and a beautiful satin waistband. I'm picturing myself twirling on stage, my pink tutu fluttering around me like a magical cloud. 😍
