Following on from "dancing is so expensive". Anyone have a freestyle costume for sale or ideas for something cheap? My dd is 8 and has a comp end of April. She's part of the troupe - which there are high hopes for, and, as one of the younger ones, has been encouraged to have a go at a solo and duet. I don't want to invest too much in the outfit as I feel her natural style is Street but I want her to have fun and enjoy the comp without feeling underdressed in leggings and a cropped top.

Any ideas?

Thanks

She is going in as a beginner?
If so , you can use simple Lycra dancewear? Foxy dancewear do lots of colours including off the peg, and if pairs, only a top needs to match.... Some beginners just wear leotards...
Nothing cheap on ebay?




Good luck to her, if she loves it, oh dear the money !!

Ive got various colours of tops and leggings for beginners to wear Jeanie.
I'll sort them out tonight and let you know what size I think I have for an Under 10.
I think I have a nice pink crop top and blue leggings ? Think theres also a scrunchie to match !
If you want to message me her measurements / height etc and I'll see what I can find xx

If you tell me what you have I'm quite good at blending or creating outfits

Thanks ladies. How wonderfully helpful!

IDTA seem to go for the whole works and there's no beginner's category (which is a pity). I'll PM DanceDiva to find out what she has for DD's size and then I'll ask for creative ideas.

A quick update! My oldest DD who is 8 danced throught 4 rounds to win the Bronze under 11s category and my youngest (who is only 4) danced through 3 rounds and came second in the 3-5 rosettes. Older DD and her friend also won under 8s duo (dancing 3 rounds). I'm so proud of them. They were brilliant. In the end went for a simple black and gold so you don't need the fullworks to win!

So we're now heading to Blackpool for the Nationals!

Wow, well done. Congratulations to your 2 super dds.

Well done to your DDs and to you for making this possible for them.

Good luck for the Nationals!
