Ballet Essentials

If you are taking a dance class, one of the essentials is a pair of clean, pink ballet shoes. Ballet shoes should fit like a glove. A pair of extra-large hair clips or a ponytail elastic is also essential. A snack and some protein bars are also important. A mini first-aid kit is also a good idea. It may sound unnecessary, but you’d be surprised at how many ballet students don’t have one of these items.

You should invest in some high-quality ballet shoes. They should also be durable enough for several classes. Ballet shoes should be zippered or cross-over so you can remove them easily without ruining your perfect bun. Ballet apparel also varies in design and style, so choose something that matches your style and budget. And remember to take a spare pair of leotard and tights in case you lose one. Ballet essentials also include a pair of ballet socks.
