Bristol Ballet Outfit Shopping Guide
Hey girls! So you’re looking for the perfect ballet outfit in Bristol? Look no further! I've been dancing since I was a little girl, and I've got you covered. Bristol’s got some fantastic shops for dancers, whether you’re after a classic look or something trendy and modern.
Where to Go
- Dancewear Unlimited (Clifton): Let’s be real, this is a dancewear must-visit. It's been a Bristol institution for years. They’ve got everything from leotards to ballet shoes, with tons of brands and styles. Their friendly staff are dancers themselves, so you know they’ll help you find the perfect fit.
- The Dance Attic (Clifton): This hidden gem offers a curated selection of high-quality dancewear, but their emphasis is on fashion and style. You'll find chic leotards, tights, and skirts here that’ll turn heads at the barre. They also have the cutest accessories for your hair and bags.
- Beyond Dance (Henleaze): Beyond Dance has a focus on professional dancers and is a great spot to check out if you’re looking for durable and high-performance dancewear. Think supportive sports bras, breathable tights, and those pro-level ballet shoes that really help you elevate your dancing.
Tips for the Perfect Ballet Outfit
- Consider your class type: Different styles of ballet might call for different attire. A contemporary class can get away with more fashionable choices, while classical ballet usually has more structured rules.
- Comfort is king: Nothing will distract you more from your dance than an uncomfortable leotard. Make sure whatever you buy is soft and stretchy, allowing you full range of motion.
- Pay attention to the neckline: I love a scoop neck leotard for class because it makes me feel so elegant! A racerback can be practical for those with bigger busts.
- Don't be afraid of color: It’s time to let your personality shine! While black is the classic choice, I find bright colors can be so fun in class.
- Accessorize: Ballet hair ties, toe pads, and ballet bags can elevate your look. You can find amazing ones at the shops in Bristol.
