i am the queen of a strappy back leotard and i must say, this one is a keeper. i love it's unique look with the cap sleeve in combination with the fun back. a beautiful addition to your (likely overflowing) leotard collection.

leather ballet shoes are great and all, but these canvas ballet flats have changed the game! when dancing in them, my foot articulates so much clearer and they are just so comfortable

the contemporary dancer's dream - good dance socks, and these are my favorite. affordable, not ankle socks (they have multiple lengths!), and don't burn a hole absurdly fast. a total must.
