Elizabeth Marlin | Studio Style
Hear from the Ballet 5:8 artists about how they like to express their style in their dance attire and learn about their go-to dance bag items.
Elizabeth Marlin, Company Artist
Q: As a professional, you get to let more of your personal style be reflected in your ballet attire—in three words, how would you describe your style?
A: I would say my style is classic, simple, and straightforward. I usually just throw on a skirt over my leotard and call it a day!
Q: What's your favorite warm up or leotard that brings you joy?
A: Sometimes I'll wear a shirt with bell sleeves at the beginning of barre and I absolutely love the way it makes me feel so elegant and flowy - it's like being in a costume.
Q: What are the top five things in your dance bag?
My tennis ball.
Skirts.
My purple trash bag pants.
Emergency needle and thread.
A keychain from my sister that reminds me of my family
Q: What is one piece of dance wear or accessory you can't live without?
A: I would probably die if I didn't have a skirt. Not only does it help me feel the part, but I think wearing one helps me dance better too!
