What's in my ballet bag?

This year I decided that I wanted to do something new ,for keeping active instead of going to the gym, then losts of things came in mind, like going back to swimming, a type of martial arts and tennis. But then I asked myself " why not go back to ballet?", I thought my parents were going to disagree with me and find my dicision kind of childish ( because there still people that believe that ballet is just for children), but they thought it was a great ideia and it would be very good for me to change things up a little bit.

I found this awesome school in my city, and I fell in love with it, it is just so cute and the teacher is so nice and friendly, the studio is huge and and very spacious, I thought I would not like the class and would choose jazz over ballet, but I didn't even need to go to a jazz tryout because I loved the ballet class. I did ballet from the ages of 5 through 11, but I never got to pointy shoes. I gave up ballet for reasons that I don't actually remember, but I wanted to go back years later but did not get the chance to, because I was on a swimming team. I always thought ballet was so beautiful to watch and apreciate.

 Let's start with what's in my dance bag, shall we?

My bag is this gym sack that I got from school, it's very pratical and has a nice size, it fits everything in it. Because I am in an adults class I don't have uniform and can wear almost everything that is comfy enough to dance in it. I usually don't bring my clothes in my bag, normally I am wearing them, but I decided to put them in the bag just to show what I usually wear during class. 

The first item is my navy blue leotard, I actually bought this at the ballet school that's why it has a logo on it, but I really like it, it is very comfortable and it stretches a lot, what's good. 

Second item is a sweat shirt, it is actually just a very thin long sleeve shirt, but is warm enough for the cold class, I got it from tj maxx a few years ago and I thought it was just too cute to leave behind.

The last thing in the red bag is a pair of capri leggings, I don't like wearing the leotard by itself too much, then I usually just wear leggings over them, plus they help keep me warm during class.

Inside the red bag I have another bag (kind of odd I know) that I use to carry my ballet shoes and some other random stuff. First thing inside is a pair of thick socks, just in case something happends with my ballet shoes I can still do the class. Second, I have this type of skirt/shall, in case I am feeling in the mood for a skirt or just to help to stretch out muscules.

Next item is my legwarmers, so helpful, like I have said before, the class is freezing and this is a absolute must and I really like how the grey color looks with the pink ballet shoes. Fourth item is tights, I really like this one because it has an open toe, what is very less painful when putting on bellet slippers, and it looks like skin ( kind of weird, but cool at the same time).

Last but not least, of course ballet slippers. These ones are great, but I recommend you to buy like two or just one number larger than your actual shoes. I was going to choose the black ones, but I think the pink is so classic and beautiful.

Hope you all liked this post and thanks for reading it.

Next post is probably going to be about ballet again.
