We just love the animated
ballet film
Ballerina. Ever since its release back in December it's become a firm favourite in our collection! Not only does it tell the story of an aspiring ballet dancer going through an acclaimed ballet school (which many of our customers will be familiar with!), but it's also full of lots of laughter along the way.
When we interviewed British ballerina Yasmine Naghadi, she said one of the most important things about being a professional dancer is to not take yourself too seriously, to have fun with it and that’s definitely what we do when we're watching Ballerina!
We are enthralled by the fabulous outfits worn by the main characters and we think there are lots of little ballerinas up and down the country who want to look just like Félicie and other characters from the movie. So we have put together a list of Félicie's and Camille's outfits, and links to where you can get them right here in the Dancewear Central store.
Félicie
As the main character of the film, we’re all rooting for Félicie! Coming from a poor background, she can’t afford regular dance classes as a young child, so when she comes to the ballet school, she’s way behind everyone else. However, with her sheer passion and determination, we think she’s got what it takes to be a shining ballet star.
Get the Félicie look:
We've pulled together a stunning
white skirted leotard, complete with
blue belt and
white tights. Not forgetting your
flesh ballet shoes and gorgeous
hair accessories.
Camille
Pushed into competing by her ruthless and pushy mother, we’re left wondering whether Camille’s ‘passion’ for dancing is for herself or her mother. She’s also pretty nasty to Félicie. Regardless, we’re firm believers that ballerinas should support each other through rehearsals and performances.
Get the Camille look:
A sleek
black leotard /
unitard complete with
pink headband, a pair of classic
white tights finished off with
flesh colour ballet shoes.
Or you can try her stunning
green leotard with a lovely
pink belt. Complete her look with
white leggings and these sparkly
gold ballet shoes.
The Mystery Ballerina
Who is this beautiful ballerina? We're not going to spoil it for those who haven't watched it yet! But we can say that she inspires Félicie enough to audition for one of the most renowned dance schools in all of France, so she must have lots of experience. We fell in love with her white tutu, and you can get the look right here.

These beautiful pink sparkly
ballet shoes with ribbons and
white tutu dress complete with
white tights and pretty
flower headband are sure to inspire your ballerina!
If you haven't watched it yet, we hope you love it as much as we do. Enjoy!
