Dancewear en l’air: Boxy Cropped Cover-Up

productcojocaru13I think this is the first time I’ve posted two similar articles in a row… but I’ve waited too long to show you Cloud & Victory! I’m so in love with their spring/summer 2014 collection I could bust – Do yourself a favor and check out all their shirts and skirts, as seen on such inimitable luminaries as Joy Womack of American at the Bolshoi fame.

I’ve chosen their Cojocaru cropped cover-up because it absolutely embodies the effortless style of dancers. It’s made of soft Tencel to slide over your skin luxuriously, and this version’s print is inspired by gorgeous Alina Cojocaru to give you your day’s inspiration.

Have a dress code that requires coverups between classes? This is the perfect solution to stay breezy cool after a long sweaty class. This top would look completely fabulous over a tank or camisole leotard for the wide neck to show off your beautiful shoulders. Add one of their lovely lace skirts and voilà, you have an ensemble fit for a dancer of the Paris Opera. I would even throw this on for coffee or shopping. So chic!

 

Dancewear en l’air: Edgy Racerback Cut-Out Leotard

JulieDancewear1Jule Dancewear, made by Los Angeles Ballet dancer Julia Cinquemani, is most well-known for it’s wrap skirts but has also created two sporty leotards including this stylish racerback. I love this athletic take on dancewear. This leo pairs really well with the company’s famous wrap skirt color options as shown here, but also looks smashing alone.

Wear this stand-out style to your contemporary ballet class or modern dance rehearsal. If you’re not a skirt-wearer but still want additional coverage, a pair of short shorts or capri leggings goes equally well. Choose from a variety of color options, including innovative holographic trim.

Jule Dancewear is a perfect example of alternative income potential for aspiring dancers. Julia Cinquemani began selling her wrap skirts at an early age and was able to start her own company at 19 years old. In the competitive world of dance, Cinquemani aims to create dancewear that will set you apart and impart the confidence you need to be your best.
