hi Leslie! I started when i was 9 with just a light-gray pair of tights and a white leotard under it. Sinse then (its been 2 + 1/2 years) iv worn a few difrent things. I really like the light-blue unitard I got from Mallabars and they ACTUALLY HAD ONE IN MY SIZE!! i culdnt believe it neither culd mom. I like some color because we have 2wear socks and i like the color to be difrent. Ive wanted to try the really light pink tights that ive seen in the dance stores that r made of microfiber but there 2 much $$$. I wear white split-sole dance slippers and white knee-socks. the socks r very thin and streatchy so gain tiny bit of color from my tights.KEEP DANCING!!![/i]
