Best Ballet Equipment

One size doesn't fit all, so the PlumBand comes in two sizes, Small for petite and younger dancers (heights 56" and shorter), and Regular for taller and older dancers (heights 57" and taller). It's a strong, elastic stretch band made from one continuous loop of premium grade natural rubber with the perfect thickness and resistance for the strength and flexibility training required in ballet and dance. And while designed for dancers, the PlumBand is equally useful for gymnastics, synchronized swimming, ice skating, and other sports that require a high degree of strength and flexibility. Then, as your strength and flexibility improves, the PlumBand will grow with you, enabling even the the kinds of advanced stretching done in professional ballet programs around the world.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I especially like the fact that all parts are replaceable and available easily, and modular design means it can be upgraded to a different length (4, 5, 6 ft) or feel (metal, wood). 1) Sturdiness: this barre is made primarily for ballet use: in ballet, you are supposed to hold your own weight, using barre only for balance. That being said, I am able to put all my entire weight down on this barre, either hanging off this barre below (as in callanetics workout) or pressing on it from the top in a downward motion--and it holds me just fine. If the crossbars are not leveled and align just so, the barre will wobble."
"Easy to install, my daughter and I both have used it for a week now, it totally serves the purpose, however I hope the base is heavier, so the barre can be more stable, it's not like it will flip over, but heavier base make me feel safer, still a great product."
"Very stable."
"Also, you will need to ensure that the foundation bars that sit on the floor are parallel to each other to ensure the unit does not wobble."
"Very easy to assemble and very stable on the floor, this is a product that should last a lifetime."
"I received this as a gift and love it."
"I bought it to use in my room, which has limited space- it is very easy to set up, is lightweight, and very helpful!"

"My daughter has been using these every day and within one week, she was finally able to get her left split, she had already been able to do her right split, but had trouble with her left!"
"My daughter's name is Ruby and so an inference in buying these but she is in ballet three and really needs to get strong and some video helps you found and the bands are really fun."
"The thicker band is more sturdy and well built than other stretch bands I have used in the past, and the thinner band is perfect for stretching and strengthening toes, ankles, etc."
"Having both the resistance band and the stretch band packaged together in this listing is the perfect duo!"
"I am particularly excited to have the carrying bag so they are kept clean in her ballet bag!"
"The stretch band has great quality."
"arrived in cute packaging so could be given as a gift, comes with a small drawstring bag to store the band."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I ordered both the Capezio Daisy 205 Ballet Shoe (Ballet Pink,10 N US Toddler) and the Bloch Dance Bunnyhop Slipper Ballet Flat (Pink,10 D US Toddler). The other reason that I like the Bunnyhops is that the elastic string can be pulled tight in the front, and it cinches up the rest of the shoe all the way around the ankle, for a tighter fit. The Capezios have an elastic string but it wasn't efficient in cinching up the shoe to make it smaller or tighter."
"According to the Capezio manufacturer, their toddler/little kid ballet shoes are to be ordered one full size up from their current street shoe size."
"When I pulled it out of the box the shoes seemed SOO TINY! I wouldnt say that she has a lot of room to grow into that much, but for less than $20 i dont mind."
"they are really cute, but they are a little bit small."
"I ordered them the first time 1/2 size bigger than my child's actual size and they were far too small."
"Fit great as expected."
"Good leather ballet shoe purchased for school program for the children to wear 'inside'."
"I ordered a size up from what my kid normally wears and can barely get her foot in them. I thought they'd probably stretch out a bit as they are a soft leather but she wore them for about an hour before she started to complain. Pretty annoyed as this was an xmas present that she was thrilled to get and now I have to take it away."

"The pole is great but the instructions are so difficult the video they give you has no sound but if you know how to set it up, it's a great pole make sure it is very tight, if you can afford it you should go ahead and get the x-pole instead."
"Pole feels very secure."
"this thing is a pain to assemble an the instructions suck just throw them out an you tube it an save yourself an hour of frustration."
"It was also the quickest shipped item I ever received from Amazon."
"Love it works great and easy to set up."
"My pole did not spin and it didn’t feel like it could hold the amount of weight advertised."
"Then I bought a pole extender and my pole is too tall now."
