Items you will need: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
*Leotard- Any color, black is not the best though
*Ballet warm up pants or depending on the weather, leg warmers of any color
*Bobby pins, hair ties, scrunchies, etc,
*Pink tights
*Ballet slippers with ribbon(preferably and old pair of pointe shoes if you by any chance have them like me ;)
*A cheep pink or white childs tutu that is very puffy and sticks out a lot
*(Optional) A cheep black or pink zip up hooded sweat shirt and pink paint
*Tennis shoes

Instructions:
1. If it's cold out side, your're probably goingto want a jacket. Take the hooded zip up sweat shirt flip it over to the back and paint either Ballet or Dance. Let dry.

2. While the shirts drying, out on the tights then leotard on. If it's cold, wear the ballet warm up pants. If it's warm, put the tennis shoes and over them put on the leg warmers.

3. Put your hair in a bun how ever you need to. Or, put your hair in braided pig tails with pink ribbon for a cuter look.

4.Put the tutu on so it sits over the pants.
Put the sweat shirt on after it has finished drying and carry your ballet shoes or put them around you neck. Make sure the tutu is totaly sticking out between the pants and shirt. It's will look hilaroius.

Happy Dancing!

Other information to consider:
A little variation to consider if you are a real ballet dancer with an old pair of pointe shoes, wear them and see what people say.
