In this episode, I'm sharing some of my favorite ballet hacks — the tips, tricks, and discoveries that have made my life as an adult dancer easier and more comfortable.

Some I figured out on my own, some were passed along by teachers or fellow dancers, and all of them are things I actually do/use and swear by, like:

- The nipple cover situation no one talks about (and the product that finally solved it for me)

- Using toe spacers in your ballet slippers (NOT just for pointe shoes) to reduce bunion discomfort

- The waistband modifications that will change how you feel in your tights 

- How to turn convertible tights into stirrup tights so you can wear the brands you actually love

- A simple spray that fixes heel slippage in pointe shoe (plus a bonus tip that makes it even more effective)

- A hack for healthier, happier hair (while you dance)
