New So Danca Range

This week Move Dancewear revealed the new So Danca range. They are quite pricey, but look great. Here are my favourites. In this collection, I think that 3 is the best buy. But if you're willing to push a little further, 6 is worth the extra pounds.
(As of yet I cannot find any other websites selling these products at a lower price).



1. LACE LEGGINGS - £34.50 (Available in Black and Purple)
2. MESH BACK LEOTARD - £22.95
3. STRIPED MESH CUTOUT BACK LEOTARD - £22.50

I'm Back!

Hello Everyone!
I am so sorry for the lack of posts over the past few months. Due to exams I have been unable to devote to time to the blog. BUT, finally, my exams are over! AND, even better, as of September I will be starting a 2 year BTEC course in Musical Theatre. So, brace yourselves. Posts are coming!

Dance Workout DVDs

As a dancer your body is important. Whether you're looking to lose weight or just tone up, there are so many DVDs on the market, especially dance based workouts. Here are some of my favourites.

The New York City Ballet Workout (Vol. 1 & 2) - From £14.40                                                             
If you don't want to buy both volumes and cannot chose which one to get, I would recommend volume 2. Most of the reviews say that it is better. I do not own the first volume, but I can say that the 2nd volume is fantastic, and the best dance based workout I've tried so far!








If none of these appeal to you, have a look on Amazon. There are hundreds of dance based workouts available there. There is bound to be one that suits your fancy!

Dance Magazines (England)

Dance magazines are a must have for any dancer. Whether you buy the odd issue or hold a subscription, it's always a treat to read the articles and look at the breathtaking photographs. Magazines can give you an insight into a dancer's life, upcoming shows and auditions and much more! There are a few on the market now, it's just a case of finding them!

Dancing Times is one of the leading dance magazines. This one is relatively easy to find and should be available in the arts section at W. H. Smith.

It's sister magazine Dance Today is a bit harder to find. It may sometimes be available in W. H. Smith and similar stores.

Dance Europe is less well known. This may not be sold in shops, but it is easily available to buy on their website.

The Stage Newspaper isn't specifically dance, but it always will always have various dance articles. If you're into Musical Theatre then this is ideal for you. This is widely available from supermarkets, W. H. Smith and other similar shops.

All of these magazines/newspapers are available on their websites. Click the magazine name to visit their website.

Leotard Review

Capezio, Double Criss Cross Strap, Camisole Leotard


                                Image from ids.co.uk

This has to be my favourite leotard. It is so versatile in that it can be worn for class or a performance. It isn't too much for a lesson, yet it is more that suitable for a show. The shelf bra lining hold you tight which is important for a leotard like this as underwear would ruin the back decoration. (And this from a larger busted dancer!) Other than the back design, I love the neckline. It's not too wide, pointed or too low and is very flattering. Just as a warning, it falls quite high on the thigh. For me, this is not a problem, but understandably you may want to consider it.
It is Cotton/Lycra and great quality.
Overall, I would say this leotard is a must have! An essential for you dance wardrobe!
