Gone are the days of suffering through mindless aches and pains and starvation to reach a specific aesthetic. Not that aches and pains nor an aesthetic exist, but more and more dancers are becoming educated about their bodies and self care.
ABT has both published a new book and also has an upcoming seminar for students and pre-professionals. New York City Ballet just had a similar seminar as well. The Harkness Dance Center offers many programs for professional and pre-professional alike.

If you buy quality the first time, you may pay a little more but you will save in the end not having to buy ones repeatedly over the years. If you are a professional dancer, you probably want to make this a career, so you might as well invest in the best the first time around.
So if you have been wondering where to get your dancing clothes from, for the major dance event you have been preparing for, Capezio dance clothing store is something to choose. They understand the needs of the dancers well, and give them what is really important for. So if you want to do justice to all your hard work at learning dance, then this is a make you need to consider.
