Dancers in the family? We've got those! And believe me, it gets expensive. But while I can't help you cut corners on the class tuition, I figured I would share some links that have allowed us to pick up dancewear and supplies for a little less money.
Sometimes you just can't cut corners - I don't buy off-brand pointe shoes, for example. But other times, there might be great ways to save. Here are some of our favorite money savers - hope this helps you, too!
One of my daughters really likes these split-sole ballet shoes from DayDance! Click here to check them out! NOTE: they run pretty much true to size - but remember that dancers' feet usually swell a bit when they're warmed up, so be sure to measure when they're warmed up.
Our favorite place to buy softer, romantic look tutus and lyrical dresses is Thank Frank's Aliexpress store. For the price, the quality is AMAZING.
We bought this one from them when we first discovered Thank Frank, and no one believed that it cost less than $50 USD!
(It is priced slightly higher now, but what hasn't gone up lately?)
This pretty blue peasant dress has seen several competitions already, and it's holding up really well!
For the classic tutu look (pancake style/platter style), we really had a hard time finding a discount seller. But in the end we discovered All For Dance. This seller sells so many dance costumes - and we chose a pre-professional tutu that truly exceeded our expectations! It was actually prettier in real life than in the picture below.
We've got our eyes on a few other dance costumes from All For Dance, like this white romantic tutu.
And if you need a lyrical dress, there are some nice options here too. Like this purple one with sequins, or this white one (one of my girls wore this one to a performance).
We also try to get convertible tights for a lot less than the standard price in dancewear stores. So if you just really can't fathom spending 40 NIS on a pair of tights, be aware that you CAN get THREE pairs for the same amount! Here are the tights that we bought:
We've tried others, but in the end we keep coming back to this seller, because these tights were much better than other discount tights we've found! Click here to go to this listing! If you need a new dance shoe bag, try one of these. And if your dancer loves dance-themed items also outside the studio, there are lots to choose from:
Pointe shoe keychain (under 15 NIS) (here's another one currently priced a drop lower: pointe shoe keychain)
BALLET t-shirt with many color options (under 20 NIS)
Ballerinas dancing sketch t-shirt (under 15 NIS)
Born to Dance t-shirts (about 20 NIS)
Hope you found this helpful!
If you've found a different seller that has impressed you, please let me know which, so we can check it out too!
Thanks
