What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Ballet Slippers
RequiredSoft split-sole canvas or leather ballet slippers give you the feel of the floor and help you point your feet correctly. Essential for safe practice on any smooth surface.
Ballet Barre (Portable or Freestanding)
RequiredA portable or freestanding barre lets you practice safely at home without needing a studio. Look for one that adjusts to your height and has a stable, non-slip base.
Ballet Resistance Band Set
Resistance bands help you stretch and strengthen your feet and ankles for better pointing and flexibility — a favorite tool of serious ballet students.
