At Home Ballet Bar

I think it is great to have a ballet bar at your house. You can never do enough at the bar. Ballet is the core of all dancing, so when you are doing ballet you are improving all of your styles. Having a ballet bar is also great for stretching and practicing placement. You can also do exercises with it.

Great At Home Videos

I think it is great to have younger kids get dance videos to practice at home. I do think they should be in a class with a teacher to help them with certain things but practicing at home with videos is a great way to remember what they learned and also be prepared for what is to come in future classes. Discount Dance has many videos on all sorts of things. I love to do things at my house that will improve my dancing with out actually dancing.

Amazing "Hometown Glory" Solo

I love the song Hometown Glory and this dance was so good. Her lines were so beautiful and I loved everything about it. I love watching random solos and dances on youtube so I can try to branch my own style out.

Modern Shoes

I was looking at shoes on Discount dance and I saw these for the first time. They look so comfortable with the stretchy fabric they used. I love finding new things I can try and hopefully they work out great! I really want to try these!

Yeah 3x By Chris Brown

I am obsessed with Chris Brown and mostly his dancing. I love that he was a dancer before he was a singer. His music videos are always so sick and I love dancing to his songs cause they always have an awesome beat. Plus I love the little kid in the beginning!

Shredded Red And Black Tutu

Found this Tutu at dancewear solutions and I love it. It is so different from a normal tutu in that it is shredded and two colors. This could be great for a different or kind of weird dance. I think it would be cute if you used it in a dance like ramalam bang bang, or let the drummer kick or something of that sort.

Shinny Rhinestones Look Great On Stage

When the girls wear their hair in just buns I like to add a little something to jazz it up. I love these rhinestone hairpins. I usually wrap the the entire bun with them and on stage these look so great! When they catch the light the shine so much!

Great Simple Gift

I wanted to get a little something for all of the staff at the studio for finishing a great show. I didn't want to get something crazy and have something just simple. I found this calendar on Discount Dance Supply. Is was perfect for them. They all loved each of George Balanchine's photos.

Super Cute Open Back, Criss Cross Leotard

I love that Discount Dance Supply has such a large selection of things, especially their leotards. I just bought this leotard from there and I love it. The back is so pretty. I love how open the back is and the cross is so cute. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it too. This would also be a good Christmas present.

Dance Dolls Will Make The You Shine

For some dances I think it looks really cool to have glitter on the girls. I have been using Dance Dolls from Discount Dance for a while now and it works so great. It covers really well and gives the girls a great shine on stage when the lights hit them. It adds a a great touch to the dance and costume.

Super Cute Dance Sweats

I really like these sweatpants I found on Discount Dance Supply. They could work for a hip hop dance of some sort, or even to sell at the studio or a class! Every year the hip hop teams at my studio will order sweatpants or some type of clothing and these would be totally cute to get as a class. Getting your name or the team name on the leg would be super cute!

Full Body Tights Give A Clean Look

I have a dance where the group is wearing a shorty unitard. From past experience I know that wearing normal tights does not look good. it cuts off their hip and gives them an awkward line. These full body tights are great for unitards or even leotards. There are no awkward lines and makes the overall look cleaner. Even in just ballet class these are nice for you leotard.

Mix And Match With Knit Tights

I LOVE these knit tights! They are so great for the winter. They not only keep you so warm but are so cute with the roll over waist. You can mix and match so many colors for each look.

Smiley Face Toe Tape

Every dancer knows how dance treats your feet. Sometimes you need tape but it is hard finding tape that stays on while you dance. I started using smiley face toe tape from discount dance. It works so nice and stays on forever! I always keep a lot at the studio now for anyone who needs tape because it is the best.

Leg Warmers For The Winter

With the winter here it's not good to start dancing with cold muscles. In the winter I always start off my class with leg warmers. They help my muscles warm up fast prevent me from hurting any muscles. I prefer the stirrups, other wise it is way too slippery for me. The pink strips at the top add a cute touch too. I always recommend my dancers to wear these in the winter.

Awesome Purple Hip Hop shoes

I love hip hop shoes. They are just so fun. If you have hip hop shoes to dance in you know that if feels so much better to dance in them rather than bare foot. You just get more in to it. These are awesome! I love love love purple and the ankle is higher which I also love. I really want these!!

Dance Quotes

"The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing... there are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words. There are movements which impinge upon the nerves with a strength that is incomparable, for movement has power to stir the senses and emotions, unique in itself. This is the dancer's justification for being, and his reason for searching further for deeper aspects of his art." ~Doris Humphrey, 1937

This website has so many cute dance quotes. Our studio has many quotes along the walls hopefully to inspire or remind the dancers why they are there and why they love to dance.

Yoga Pants Great For Dancing

I love dancing in yoga pants. It's like having tights and bottoms on all at the same time but way more comfortable. Victoria's Secret yoga pants are my favorite. They are so comfortable and so cute. I feel more comfortable dancing in something I feel good in.

Fighting Gravity = Amazing!

I watched most of America's Got Talent this year except for the end but I know my favorite was the group Fighting Gravity. Everything they did was so amazing! I know you couldn't really do much of the stuff at a competition but at your own recital, if you could do something like they do that would be the best show!!

Beat Freaks Rocked It Out Like Men

I watched the first two seasons of America's Best Dance Crew and then didn't really get into it that much again but I think I am going to start watching it again when it comes out again. One of my favorite dances though was from the Beat Freaks during the illusion challenge. They had the floating ball in their dance but that wasn't even the best part, they were so amazing! They can dance like men. They are ridiculous.

Lesser Known Artists/Songs Are Much Better For Performances

My friend just told me about an artist names Tyler Ward so I checked him out on youtube and I fell in love with the first song I heard from him. They might be great dance songs. You could put so much behind it. I also love using songs and artists that people have never heard before.

Comfortable Leotard And Uniforms

At our studio we have "uniforms". All of the dancers wear the same leotard and shorts. This is the leotard this year and it is so nice. They are so comfortable an they don't fall low in the front. If the straps were too long for the girls, it was an easy fix for them to shorten them. I personally love these leotards. I also suggest having uniforms at studios because it makes cleaning dances and doing lines a lot easier. The girls are also not distracted by what they are wearing and other girls are wearing.

I wanted to get something for the staff at the studio and I found these cute little dancer figurines. They are so cute and I can't wait to give them to the staff.  They were only $16.95 for the whole set. I hope they like them!

Super Pretty Contemporary Song

Is This Really Possible!?- Rythmic Gymnastics
