I bought this to get into ballet practice on my own, because it's looking to me like ballet seems to be the foundation of other styles of dance that I am/would like to be involved in. It's a great skirt, but beware the elastic. I had to stretch mine a bit. It is intended for ballet and I'm not quite ballerina-thin, yes, but it's still quite tight. I'm considered quite small by normal standards, and I'm a ballroom dancer (for which I'm about average size.) Once you've put it on a shelf with some books inside the elastic to relax it and break it down, though, it's a great dance practice skirt. Will be purchasing another.
