Dancers Unite! Workout Leotards Are Back With a Vengeance

by Heather Dale 3

Movies like Dirty Dancing, Fame, and Footloose paved the way for dance-obsessed youth in the '80s. And now with Black Swan, ballet-based Bar Method classes, and butt-busting dance routines with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, we're all falling prey to the dance craze.

Celebrities like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Rihanna have been rocking the leotards for quite some time now — yes, on the stage and off (although I think it's safe to say Lady Gaga is always sporting some sort of leotard-ware). And actresses Ellen Pompeo and Emmy Rossum both sport them to the gym. But I'm curious to see if you've embraced the leotard trend as much as these celebs have? I'm still trying to branch away from my traditional black workout wear, so I can't say I've built up enough courage to wear leotards. And what do you wear with leotards — Lycra shorts like Emmy has on here? Or maybe one of those swimsuit-style onesies?
