Purple Star emoji 15 items

You could get the same look with a long sleeve body suit but if you're going for the Ballet core look why not go full send and get an actual Bloch Dance leotard. Pro tip- real dancers call them “leos”

Dancers keep their feet warm at all times- HOT even and the crazier the footwear the better the dancer apparently.  Puffy slippers and warm ups are classic.

Ballet dancers always have their hair up and out of the face- it elongates the neck and give you prettier lines.  Use a french hair pin for a fun way to change up the classic bun
