Ballet Clothes for Women — Your Buying Guide

The right ballet clothes give you freedom of movement and show your technique well. At Miss Salsa you will find a complete collection of ballet clothes for women — from classic leotards to elegant skirts and tunics.

Our ballet clothes for women are selected from top brands such as Capezio, Bloch and So Danca. Each garment is designed with the specific requirements of ballet in mind: tight enough to show your lines, comfortable enough for hours of practice.

Dress code tip: Most ballet schools use a dress code with solid colors. Black is universally accepted. Always choose breathable fabrics with sufficient stretch — you want to be able to move freely without your clothing restricting you.

Frequently asked questions about ballet clothes

What do I wear under my leotard?
Most dancers wear a seamless thong or nothing under their leotard. Regular underwear can give visible lines and limit freedom of movement. Many leotards have built-in briefs.

Which fabric is best for ballet clothes?
A mix of nylon and elastane (lycra) is ideal: it breathes, dries quickly, retains its shape and offers maximum stretch. Cotton is comfortable but stretches less well and dries more slowly.

How do I wash my ballet clothes?
Wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, preferably in a laundry bag. Do not tumble dry — hang your clothes to dry. This extends the lifespan considerably.
