Dance Accessories Every Ballerina Should Own

Becoming a ballerina is every little girl’s dream… Well, almost every, as some of them want to become a police officer, just like my little niece (chuckles). But those who do, dream to have that little tutu outfit and all that comes with it (which is really cute), and to be honest, I think that there is nothing more adorable than seeing those little chubby legs in white tights and a tutu costume. So, if you think that one of your little cuties is serious about giving dancing a try, you will want to make sure they have everything they need to look like a real one.

Whether for a performance, or for day to day practicing, there are lots of dancer accessories to choose from. In fact, for a real dancer accessories like hair nets, ripple pins, and tights are just some of the many they should have in order to feel complete from head to toes. If you’re not really sure about all the things they need, here is a short guide that can help you keep their dance wardrobe stocked and their ballerina moves light and painless.

Impeccable Kick-Ball Dancing Moves

The kick-ball dancing moves need to be performed really well, but this could not be possible without having the right dance shoes. In fact, performing without the right type of shoes would be disastrous – it would be like playing football in flip-flops or like drawing without a pencil. When it comes to ballet shoes you can choose from different materials, models and colours, but the key to finding comfortable ones is to look for moisture-absorbent inside lining. In order, your little one to have a better balance and more solid pirouettes, make sure you choose shoes with a comfy sole, whether it is full or split sole.

Can’t Get Enough of Tights

Dance tights are like the underwear or the socks we wear every day. You can never have too many of them, so in case of wear and tear, stains, or excessive sweating, having a spare pair can spare your little one a lot of trouble and embarrassment in some cases.

Keep That Flyaway Hair in Place

Having a neat hairstyle that will stay in place is a must for every dancer, so having some of the most essential hair accessories is a must. In the light of this fact, it’s a good idea to treat your little dancer with their very own hairbrush, barrettes, pins, hairspray, elastic ties, etc.

Protect Those Little Toes

It’s really painful for all us parents to see those little cuties with achy or bloody toes, so having toe pads is a must. These heavenly helpers can protect your little girl’s toes while offering a comfortable feeling when dancing. Along with a baby powder (to minimize sweating), toe pads are an affordable addition to any dancer’s bag.
