Hi friends,

I'm coming to you with yet another post this quarantine. This time, however, I tried to feign a sense of normalcy by sharing some of my favorite dancewear creations this Spring.

While we can't be in the studio, it is so inspiring to see our dance community thriving and moving together from the comfort of our homes.

The brands I'll be sharing are all personal favorites of mine that have especially impressed me with their latest initiatives and products!

I hope you enjoy!

1. Zarely

I've been a long time fan of Zarely products over the years.

I feel my most comfortable when I'm dancing in Zarely tights from classes to auditions to performances and photoshoots! The quality of the tights have always impressed made for more flattering lines that I feel confident moving in.

Due to our current global situation they have not only cut the list prices of majority of their dance and activewear, but have also pledged to donate 10% of their sales to support ballet companies who have had to cancel upcoming performances! In addition to all that amazing work, they are also providing daily live-streamed classes for dancers during this Quarantine on their instagram, @zarelywear

they have not only cut the list prices of majority of their dance and activewear, but have also pledged to donate 10% of their sales to support ballet companies who have had to cancel upcoming performances!

I recently purchased the Grace leotard designed by Principal Dancer of National Ballet of Ukraine, Ana Sophia Scheller, in honor of her sister, Grace.

Zarely is donating 10% from each Grace leotard to support and raise awareness of the brain tumor community.

The leotard comes in two colors- Nude and Black and features pilling-resistant breathable fabric I've enjoyed moving in!

Like the brand's renowned tights, this leotard is flattering in all the right places. I even wore it for my audition photos this season-and I NEVER thought I'd be comfortable enough in a nude colored leotard to do so.

2. Aurora Skirts

I own quite the collection of Aurora Skirts. If you knew me in my days at American Repertory Ballet, chances are you've borrowed one of my beautiful pieces!

 15% off discount with my code: GRACESKIRT

I had purchased the Silver Rain Juliet Skirt a month before the Stay-At-Home Order, in preparation for my upcoming rehearsals for The Secret Garden. Fortunately, I was able to use it in the first few runs before the postponement of our rehearsals and show.

Now, I'm thrilled to have such a gorgeous statement piece in my online zoom classes- a bit of subtle flair to make me feel more put together!

As an ambassador for AuroraSkirts you can also get a 15% discount with my code: GRACESKIRT

The new Spring Floral Collection was recently released- and as always they never fail to impress!

The owner of Aurora Skirts, Sophie Williams, has also launched a series of livestream videos for dancers to follow along at home during this time where we can't get into the studio. You can check it out the @auroraskirts Instagram page (all of the livestreams are later uploaded on their IGTV in case you happen to miss one).

3. Suffolk Dancewear

If you've been subscribed to my Youtube Channel, you saw how thrilled I was when Suffolk came out with the fantastic idea of a $20 Mystery Box this past Winter.

$20 you get two mystery items-which can include leotards, skirts, or apparel. Considering the pricey nature of dancewear these days, this is an unbelievably amazing opportunity to end up with two spectacular pieces

They have brought it back for Spring and it is the perfect idea-now that we're all dancing away at home there's nothing like a unique leotard to keep inspiring us during this trying time!

For the generously low cost of $20 you get two mystery items-which can include leotards, skirts, or apparel. Considering the pricey nature of dancewear these days, this is an unbelievably amazing opportunity to end up with two spectacular pieces for the price of half of a usual leotard!

All you have to do is find your size on the mystery box page and it's as simple as that- they'll choose two amazing products for you!

I fell in love with the items I received this past Winter. Here is my video reviewing what I ended up with!

Thanks so much for reading and I hope this gave you a little inspiration for any online shopping you may be doing this quarantine for dance wear.

If you have any additional suggestions of products or brands I should check out next be sure to let me know in the comment section down below. I am so curious to hear what you all enjoy in terms of design and style!

Stay Safe

I wish you all the best,
