The following article is by Cedric Grosjean reprinted by Tootsies Children Dancewear, a 25 year old retailer and online etailer located in Midlothian, Virginia.
If you were to give any little girl the chance of dressing themselves up in any outfit or uniform in the entire world, there is an extremely strong chance that they would choose to become a ballerina. There is something very special about the look of a ballet dancer and this has lasted throughout the ages and there appears to be no sign of this changing. In fact, ballet dancewear is now considered to be a strong fashion statement for grown up women with so many of the fashion products like pumps or leotards that are commonly associated with ballet are now finding their way into the everyday wardrobe for women of all ages. This further emphasises the greatness of ballet clothes and the way that the early impressions of a young girl can last with them, throughout their entire life.Anyone who has even the remotest interest in fashion will have noticed that the humble leotard has smashed its way back into massive popularity and the amount of trendsetters who can be seen wearing it is huge. This obviously trickles it down to being worn by so many people across the country and if you don’t have at least one leotard in your collection it is fair to say that you are missing out. Whilst the leotard is not the only outfit in the ballet dancewear clothing range, there is no doubt that any who has ever ballet danced will be very familiar with the leotard. It can be combined with a great number of clothing products to create a better look or for those who are very brave or very comfortable in their own body, the leotard can be worn on its own or with very little. The versatility of the product has helped make it one of the most indispensible clothing products available.

Although ballet is more commonly associated with girls and females, it is true to say in recent years that it has become common to see men wearing ballet dancewear. This has been driven by a number of factors but there is a realisation that all forms of dancing, including ballet, can be enjoyed by everyone and not just girls. As a way of keeping fit, it is a great source of exercise and many professional sports teams are taking advantage of the techniques utilised by ballet dancers and trainers to ensure their star players are supple and flexible during a busy season.

No matter whether you like ballet dancewear because you dance a lot or you think it is a great fashion statement, there is no reason to think that you cannot wear the product as and when you like. There are so many different colours and shades available that it is possible to mix and match styles or ensure that everything is complimented with whatever else you are wearing. This level of accessorising may not be the first thing that people think of when they consider ballet dancewear but it is an important element to consider when making your purchase.

How to fit girl dance shoes

Fitting girls dance shoes can be a taunting task, but there is information both online and at specialty dance retail stores that can easily teach you the proper way to size and fit your child in dance shoes.

 

The first item you need is a shoe fitting tool.  Tootsies Children Dancewear has on its site such a tool.  To obtain that tool, all you need to do is either click on or copy the following address into your web browser:  http://www.tootsiesdancewear.com/site/547048/page/121850  

 

On the page with this device are instructions in how to print and verify that the sizes indicated on the chart are accurate.  Have your child stand on the chart and make an outline of her feet.  The big toe on each foot will indicate the size of girls ballet shoes and girls tap shoes to order.  If one of your child’s feet are larger, then the larger foot indicates the size girl ballet shoe or girl tap shoe to order.  We always fit the larger foot first.

 

Tootsies Children Dancewear indicates how each of Leos Dancewear dance shoes fits on its web site.  Tootsies recommendations come from the fact that they have been fitting girl dance shoes since 1985.  If you would like additional information on Tootsies, please visit our web site at http://www.tootsiesdancewear.com  or call us at 1-866-235-0626.

Toddler dance classes – a time for fun and make believe

Toddler dance is a time for fun and make believe.  Most studios start toddler dance classes around age 2, sometimes younger if your child has good enough motor skills. These classes are generally called creative movement or something similar and use a lot of games and props to teach children the concepts of colors, following directions, taking turns, performance, confidence, and basic dance technique. The goal is for your toddler to have fun and make believe that she is a ballerina.

 

Toddler dancewear for creative movement classes should include toddler ballet shoes, toddler dance tights and toddler leotards.  If the dance instructor allows, it is always a good idea to include toddler leotards with attached dance skirts, or simply dance skirts to wear in addition to dance leotards and dance tights. The goal of creative movement classes is to allow your toddler to believe that should is the prima-ballerina and enjoy learning basic dance movements.  You toddler will have plenty of time throughout her childhood and her teens to determine if she is willing to accept higher levels of dance training and discipline.   

Tootsies Children Dancewear, a division of Tootsies Stride Rite, has been in business since 1985 and offers through its online store at http://www.tootsiesdancewear.com  a complete line of toddler sizes dancewear
