Beckenham: A Ballet Girl’s Shopping Guide
Okay, my lovely fellow dancers, Beckenham might not be the first place that springs to mind for ballet gear, but trust me, this little gem of a town has some hidden treasures. Let’s get this leotard shopping party started!
Start with the staples at The Dance Shop:
- Their selection of leotards is vast, and trust me, the quality is amazing. Think classic styles and flattering colours. Get that basic black sorted, but don’t shy away from a bright pink or turquoise for that pop of colour.
- You’ll also find a fab selection of ballet shoes, tights and warm-up gear here. Make sure you check out their comfy ballet bags and water bottles too.
- This place is a godsend. They are super friendly and knowledgeable about all things ballet.
Take it up a notch at Dancewear Direct:
- Want to go for designer pieces? Dancewear Direct has got you covered with the likes of Capezio and Bloch. Their styles are more sophisticated and modern – perfect for the ballet girl who knows her style.
- This is where you find the real statement pieces, the ones you can show off at the barre.
Add a personal touch with some accessories:
- Beckenham High Street is full of charming boutiques that are perfect for finding those cute ballet-inspired accessories to take your look to the next level.
- For the perfect hair accessory, check out Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow – they have a wonderful selection of chic buns and ballet hair bands.
Don’t forget:
- When buying leotards and tights, think about what’s comfortable and breathable, especially if you’re a regular at the barre. You want your clothes to move with you!
- Don’t forget your comfy shoes for walking around Beckenham town. You don’t want aching feet when you're out searching for that perfect leotard.
Have fun, my darlings! Happy shopping. Don’t forget to take loads of photos for your Insta stories – and of course, don’t forget to tag me! ?
