Lucinda's Go-To Must Haves
What is your go to style in the studio?
Leotards
"Yumiko leotards have always been my favourite but recently I've begun to really get into artsy abstract prints and sleeved Leo's."
Skirts
"I'm not biased… but Ballet Skirts By Lucinda. I designed them to be better than the ones I already had so I guess that's why ❤️"
Warm Ups
"We now have B.S.B.L leg warmers too… so I wear those a lot now 😃 But I also love the clothes from Sweaty Betty!"
What are some of your "must have" recovery, first aid, and conditioning tools?
Recovery
"A lacrosse ball to roll out my muscles on. (It kills your ITBand)"
Conditioning
"I have a set of elastic loop bands that I use for so many different exercises. They are really versatile and just handy to take from studio to studio."
First Aid
"Hyperfix and second skin - especially when we do Swan Lake as there is so much time on pointe you'd die without it."
