The days are much shorter and the thermometer is dropping. Dance studios tend to be big open spaces, sometimes in older buildings and they get chilly. Exerting cold muscles is very dangerous and could cause serious injury. Therefore, it’s definitely time to pull out those cozy warm-ups from the back of your dance drawer! Here’s a collection of some of our favorite pieces. Some are classics, and some are brand new must haves!

Ripstop Tank Overall

All dancers, especially ballet dancers, need a nice tank overall in their lives. It’s the perfect piece to start barre with, and you can wear it multiple ways depending on which area needs warming up.
