Bloch bunny ballet slippers. So cute. And various tutus for fun. They're definitely worth buying at least a real "ballerina" outfit for taking pics! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2160108 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 17:58:20 +0000 MenagerieMama 2160108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I am a former ballerina and got almost all my gear from discount dance supply. Brings back memories!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2160107 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 17:57:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2160107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We signed our nieces up for one a few years ago as a birthday present. There was a dress code, black leotards and pink wrap skirts. I picked them up at a local dance store and ask them for recommendations based on her age, height and weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2160031 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 16:13:13 +0000 anonysquire 2160031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Omg are you kidding me? That tutu dress is the best. I am going to buy every color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2160028 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 16:11:30 +0000 anonysquire 2160028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do gymnastics since there are no dance classes for 1 yr olds around here. I've had to get creative. I made a few Outfits and then bought a few vintage things. </p> <p>This is my fav find. Although it's a size newborn. </p> [attach=1857/15/nnjc76.600x600.IMG_20150325_105515.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2160017 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 16:02:18 +0000 mrsjazz 2160017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No dress code for her class. I usually put LO in leggings. There's one girl who wears a little yellow leotard and tutu, and another girl who wears a princess dress up outfit. Thankful that we get to save money on dance outfits right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159775 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:31:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2159775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: we found a very durable inexpensive brand. I believe they are called Theatricals and they've held up better than our Danskins or Bloch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159750 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:21:37 +0000 PinkElephant 2159750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, all! Sounds like I should definitely have DD try on some things in person before ordering online. I am sooo tempted by so many cute things but in reality this is a five week summer trial, so who knows if she will even like it!</p> <p>Any favorites for pink tights? I used to wear tan danskin for skating but not sure what might be preferable these days! </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I love that they change skirt colors as they move up - makes it a fun milestone! </p> <p>@cmomma17: @marionberry: cool! I shopped from their catalog when I was growing up. I'll have a look at the website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159747 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:20:42 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2159747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in addition to that guide, i've purchased some really cute things at discount dance supply.</p> <p>i think this one is the absolute cutest:</p> <p><a href="http://www.discountdance.com/dancewear/style_TF001.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.discountdance.com/dancewear/style_TF001.html</a></p> <p>we have it in pink!</p> <p><a href="https://instagram.com/p/1JeV_1CA0z/?taken-by=hellobeedotcom" rel="nofollow">https://instagram.com/p/1JeV_1CA0z/?taken-by=hellobeedotcom</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159700 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:01:47 +0000 cmomma17 2159700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: that's exactly the resource I was about to recommend! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159551 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:34:00 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2159551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our ballet school has a dress code.

When she moves up in September, we switch to red. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159539 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:30:36 +0000 T-Mom 2159539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: At my Target, they do carry smaller sizes (like 2/3) in the ballet section (near girls' section). I bought one for my DD there when she was that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159500 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:11:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2159500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: Yes they are in the girls section but they do run really small.

I think it's discount dance.com. They are a fabulous source of dancewear at discounted prices. I would let her wear something fun while she can. Growing up we always wore black leotards, pink ballet slippers, pink tights and a fun colored wrap skirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159483 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:00:58 +0000 PinkElephant 2159483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mr. Bee: thank you! Olive is one adorable little ballerina.</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: thanks! Tiny ones? I've only seen them in the girls' section, and DD can't wear a size 4 :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159457 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 10:47:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2159457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target has some! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159441 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 10:33:16 +0000 mrbee 2159441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: My daughter has been taking ballet lately... Bee posted some of her outfits here!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2015/03/03/ballerina-gear/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2015/03/03/ballerina-gear/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leotard-for-toddler-ballet#post-2159437 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 10:31:36 +0000 PinkElephant 2159437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your little girl takes ballet, what does she wear? I just signed my LO up for a ballet class (she'll be 3 at the time), where leotards, tutus, and ballet shoes are welcome but not required.</p> <p>I definitely want to get her something fun to wear - probably a leotard and tights, maybe also a wrap skirt (she has ballet slippers already). Trying to decide between pink/black for the leotard so she feels like a big girl, or whether to do something more "fun" and colorful while she is still allowed to wear what she wants.</p> <p>Sources for toddler-sized ballet attire also appreciated! TIA! </p>
