Back to Class Essentials - Winter Warmers

January is here and it’s time to head back to class which means you need to make sure you have all your dance class essentials ready! We’ve put together this handy post so you can be prepared for class and don’t need to worry about anything other than your dancing!

Our Move Dance Coco Leotard comes in regulation style for grades 1-5 ballet exams with tank sleeves, a round neck and matching elasticated belt (included with the leo). All Move Dance leotards have the comfort factor, but Coco in particular comes in soft, stretchy cotton with a full-frontal lining to be gentle against your little dancer's skin.

Stay stylish and classical with this low scoop back leotard by yours truly. Our Move Dance Giselle Leotard is a favourite among many dancers and is ideal for class. The built-in shelf bra and gusset lining add confidence so you’re able to focus fully on your dancing. Showcase your back and shoulders as you dance thanks to the flattering shape of the leotard which hugs your figure.

A ballerina always needs a pair of ballet shoes, and you don’t need to look any further than our Move Dance Light Pro Ballet Shoes. Stretchy canvas allows the shoe to hug your arches, giving you a snug yet comfortable fit. The split sole style allows you to work on your flexibility and the elastication in the middle of your foot is an effective but stylish feature.
