I suggested to my daughter that she could wear some shorts she had that were similar to the Carla ones (maybe a little shorter?) for dancing the other week. We'd actually bought them to be worn under dresses as bloomers for a bit more coverage when playing.

DD didn't want them though - she wanted full length leggings. She is doing contemporary dance and that involves a lot of falling on the floor and she prefers her legs to be completely covered to protect them!
