(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best ballet & dance equipment

Orange is such a delicious color. It's one of my school colors, actually!

I'm in need of this orange bodysuit (on my Costumes WL) for a cosplay I have in mind, but it's a little bit over ten bucks. So I think these orange socks socks are better for the contest.

If you're interested, I'm making a female Animal Man costume... and I can't wait! I prefer the orange suit, myself. I think you would too.

Well, those sort of scarves were in style for girls 10 or 15 years ago, so I don't know if you'll find anything like that right now in stores. The most promising thing might be a dance store, or just going to a fabric store (Joann's, Hancock fabric) and buying some sparkly fabric. It looks like a sequin dance sash like this.

I generally know about Danskin only, because I prefer the elongated leg opening and the long-lasting nylon, so I generally snap up the last of the past season stock (which is generally in my size, P) that Amazon will sell for $5 or so, but they don't seem to be trying to dump items now.

This one does sometimes go on sale for $5. It's the only strappy leo that works on me, and I have multiples of it, though it's a bit too sexy to wear by itself (it's very supportive, but has a pushup effect as a result).

EDIT: It's you're ok with cotton, here's a $5 one. Here's an $8 one. If you don't fear headlights, here's a $6 one.

Right now these are my favorite - 27" over the knee. I look and feel super sexy in them and always get compliments. I'm 5'4" and they go over the knee a bit snug but I have thick thighs anyway. They loosen a little bit the more you wear so I don't mind them tight around my thighs. Plus, it's on Amazon!

// , This sounds like the most flexible solution, although I do eventually want to buy a dance shoe.


I've found suede stick-ons on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/YAVOUN-Friction-reducing-Self-Adhesive-High-Heeled-Protector/dp/B07G116VL2/

​

I've considered adding these to something like the Merrell Vapor Glove or the vivobarefoot.com shoes mentioned above.

​

Vibram soles are pretty good for adhering, but I'm willing to keep a few spare pads of suede just in case.

I dance, and I buy whatever's cheap on Amazon.

I have Prime, and Amazon has all the major brands. I guess Danskin looks nicer because they don't always use cotton, so it doesn't take on that ratty off-black appearance. So this in different colors shows up in my normal wardrobe occasionally. Also, Danskin is sized for adult women, which I like.

Be careful about sizing - I'm 5 ft and 90-95 lbs, and I struggle to get into a Capezio XS. Also you can't really wear a normal bra with most leotards. Some have lining in the front, but you will get headlights. It's OK in a dance studio, but outside ...

I opted for a gradual painless approach. This for the first couple of times.

Then she'll pass to [this] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Womens-Halterneck-Bodystocking-Bodysuit-Babydoll/dp/B016AGGPF6/ref=pd_sim_193_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=41npxB2RXjL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL200_SR119%2C200_&refRID=0M2YXTY89YB3HRTX26HD) if she's comfortable enough.

EDIT: Eh, amazon doesn't redirect to the specific model. The second link, I'm referring to the fifth model 3.19 pounds, color: Black4.

i have that one saved on amazon just by decent reviews and price difference. it says both static and spin.



thoughts ? i want the xpole! so it's my top choice.

It's gonna look awkward unless the shirt is tight enough that it doesn't mess with the lines of the dress. You could get a fine mesh top, or a leotard with sleeves and either would probably work under this. To do this, you should probably just rock it as something purposeful, not try to hide it in any way.

I'd say go with a leotard like these:

It’s funny you say that. When I started, I was doing it in my socks on carpet and then wanted to switch to shoes to get used to doing it in them (and also because my feet were getting really callused). I found these and they make dancing on carpet really easy, they go right over your shoes - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P6WC4EM/

And here is a link for a similar skirt at Amazon:
Balera Dance Brief Ultra Sparkle with Attached Back Panel High-Low Skirt Black Child Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MY32EA0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bIJHDbMMX1P8Q

Try searching words like “balera” or “back panel skirt” or “dance brief with attached skirt”

That seems pretty neat for my bad back days, plus it looks easier to get in than my corset.

The things I was thinking of were:

https://www.amazon.com/Ensnovo-Spandex-Unitard-Bodysuit-Costume/dp/B01L8UXC2I/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1511915226&sr=8-10&keywords=zentai+suit

or this: https://www.amazon.com/Ensnovo-Unitard-Spandex-Zentai-Costumes/dp/B016U6EADA/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1511915226&sr=8-12&keywords=zentai+suit

(They both have a zipper in the back )

I usually just wear a longer shirt or tuck into the back of my shorts/pants which helps a bit. A unitard might help with feeling exposed. http://www.amazon.com/Stretch-Comfort-CAMISOLE-UNITARD-SHORTIES/dp/B00PCPQC0U/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1449094799&sr=8-10&keywords=unitard
