I danced ballroom competitively from ages 13-18. These are my favorite things for makeup, hair, costuming, recovery and pretty much everything dance related!
For competitions that require your legs to be covered or for a more conservative dancer these are the best!! I usually went with the color suntan or toffee. It depended on how tan I got. I would definitely recommend wearing nylon tights underneath so...
Professional Fishnet Seamless Tight
I really loved these for cabaret/lift routines!
Ultra Hold Stirrup Tight
My favorite Latin heels!! 👠 They are a little on the pricey side and that’s why it took me so long to try these out but as soon as I did, I knew what I was missing out on. These shoes felt so incredibly comfortable. They almost didn’t feel like heel...
Asta (072E)
Wonderful smooth shoe! Again, these are a little bit on the pricey side, but so so worth it!

Obviously, as a dancer, you will get sore. I found that this helps tremendously!
