Highbury Ballet Boutique Bonanza
Let's get those pirouettes twirling! So you're looking for a new ballet outfit in Highbury, and lucky for you, this North London haven has got you covered! Let's take a ballet-themed stroll through Highbury to find you the perfect leotard, skirt, or whatever else your dancer heart desires. * First stop, "Dancewear Central". They have a decent selection and decent prices. If you're just starting out, you might be tempted by their sale racks (I know I was!). But I'll warn you now, I got my first leotard from there - *shudders* - and you get what you pay for. But if you are just starting out it will definitely get you on the path. Just keep in mind, cheap fabric doesn't breathe well and often falls apart faster. Go for a leotard in black or a neutral colour that will mix and match with other pieces. * Next door, you'll find the delightful "Highbury Dance". Oh, darling! It’s a little pricey but if you’re looking for that high-quality ballet wardrobe this is the place! And they always seem to have the latest fashions, like that gorgeous new line from Freed! Go for a splash of colour with your next leotard! If your pockets aren’t screaming, grab yourself a delightful and refreshing beverage at the cafe across the road and consider where to go next: * For some fun accessories like leg warmers, hair scrunchies or even that glitzy little "ballet-is-life" keyring - **"Dance Supplies Ltd"** in Crouch End is just a short bus ride away and it’s an absolute haven for all your dance needs. You can buy all sorts of things like ballet shoes and tights. The owner even gives some helpful styling tips to anyone who asks (and she’s *seriously* chic!). You'll find yourself wandering the store like a ballerina lost in a sea of sparkles, and you know what? I love it! Remember, finding your perfect dance outfit is all about choosing pieces you love, and the amazing stores in Highbury will make it fun. Go forth and get ready to dance!
