Because I love all things dance clothing related, what are your fave clothes for warm up?
I’m considering getting some of those roll down waits, woolen footless tights or jumpsuits that dancers wear for warm up.
I have so many pairs of leg warmers but the longest pair, which reach the top of my thighs, roll down if I don’t have tights or leggings underneath 🙁
I saw some amazing looking 40″ leg warmers on amazon, but shipping to Australia is $72! No thank you :p
So yeah, if it’s cold out what do you like to wear over your singlet and booty shorts that help keep you warm and comfy without being bulky and difficult to remove?Plus I have around 3 pair of boots and shoes on my short list now too hahaha… god stripper shoes rock 😀

You linked discount dance so not sure if these are an option, but I love these http://www.discountdance.com/mobile/mobileDetail.php?TopCat=WU&cat=LEG&SortOrder=P&ShopMobile=Style&style=92

They are long enough to warm up in/can roll them to cover your whole leg basically, but since they’re leg warmers you can roll them down if you’re having a bit of a passionate warm up freestyle moment and need to access some thigh skin 😉
-
I’ve been using them for about a year (maybe longer?) and no roll down issues. Machine wash (not sure if I’m supposed to) and they’re fine 🙂 and in the winter when it’s REALLY cold I put them on over leggings too

Lucca which ones are they? I clicked the link but only got their main page… I have heard that the body wrapper 40″ leg warmers are very tight around the thigh if you’re not very thin (and I have muscly legs) but I really want a pair of super long leg warmers that do stay up.
Very keen to know which brand/style have worked so well for you 🙂 -
oooh! I love those sweater tights. glad you posted that cause i want a pair but didnt know what they were called or where to get them.

I just got a pair of 48 inch body wrappers leg warmers. my thighs are fat, and make me cry. but i digress. anyways, I can almost pull these leg warmers all the way up on my huge thigh. if I try to pull it all the way to almost crotch level I get that weird muffin top . if I pull it just a couple of inches lower they are snug but comfortable. they arent falling down. and dont look weird and are pretty much covering most of my leg. so I give the 48 inch leg warmers a thumbs up.

I got the 48 inch Body Wrappers. I have skinny legs but these leg warmers are a bit slouchy on me so I imagine there’s some room in there for muscle 💪 there’s also a surprising amount of stretch to them too

Looking at pics…I think they were tighter when I first got them so don’t be discouraged of they’re kinda tight at first o_O they kinda stretch out and then shrink back up like jeans https://instagram.com/p/2GYRBOmUIy/ https://instagram.com/p/yI_4c3mUNI/
This is when they were still pretty new so tighter: https://instagram.com/p/qI8Gj3mUJN/

Thanks everyone, I think I might risk the 48 inch ones.
And I feel your pain Phoenix, I find it hard not to feel super down about my body the way it is right now (although my boobs look amazing haha) but I am definitely already seeing real changes in my strength which is super encouraging 🙂
And Lucca, they look great on you and you move beautifully 🙂 -
In the winter I like to warm up in thigh-high legwarmers and a long-sleeve t-shirt. I love my thigh high legwarmers except they fall down. I may try the body-wrapper, but I muffin-top like crazy in almost anything, so yeah…
