Baby Pink or Hot Pink?

Clockwise from left Kinder Ballet Sugar Plum Fairy Costume, Baby Ballet Sugar Plum Fairy Overlay on hot pink tutu and Bubby Ballet Snowflake Overlay on classic pink tutu.

Introducing our new hot pink tutu!!!
Our Ballerinas now have the option of choosing our classic baby pink or our new hot pink tutu for class.
Specially designed for Bubby and Baby Ballerinas by Peter at North Shore Ballet.
Both tutus will be suitable for our end of term Open Days.

ps Say the word "ballerina" and most people will picture her in a tutu. Tutus have long been the most revered form of ballet costume; their angelic frothiness adds a magic quality to the look of a ballerina. When she wears one, she looks like a sugary confection that belongs on the grandest of cakes.
