I got a whole bunch of dance stuff at a mom to mom sale. I think you said you tried that....but I would also look at garage sales. At the mom to mom sale I went to in April, I got 5 leotards and a pair of tap shoes for $7. Good luck!

My daughter is in gymnastics and I either get new at Target, or I get used from craigslist or the Thrift Store. We are fortunate that we actually have decent thrift stores that carry newer stuff. Anyways, IMO I am comfortable with used leotards and with how fast they grow it seems silly to spend soo much money on new.

Good luck and hope she has fun!!!

My daughter does ballet and tap. We get her shoes through the class, but Target and Payless carry ballet shoes. They both carry tights as well which you'll need. And Target has leotards. Look in the girls section as there's an area with all the ballet stuff.

My daughter is also 3 and just started dance. We got her leotard at Academy for $7.99 I think and I found another pink one at a consignment shop for $3. For shoes though, she has really small and plump little feet so I went ahead and had her feet fitted on a dancewear store.

answers from Tulsa on

Your dance teacher is most likely going to have a class "Uniform" so to speak. They should all wear the same leo, hose, and shoes. This helps the teacher to focus on muscles, placement of feet and arms, etc...if they are distracted by various tutu's and leo's they can't focus on the part that is their job.

Ask the dance teacher if she has any used stuff, occasionally someone will outgrow things and they will ask the teacher to give it to someone that needs it.

Otherwise look around for resale shops, I but tons of our gymnastics leos at one here in my town for a fraction of the cost of athletic shops prices.
