As many of you know, we’ve been passionate about FleshTone dance apparel since forever. We wrote about it here and discussed it with Elle Magazine here.

As many of you also know, Gaynor Minden surprised us all by coming to the table and releasing its Core Colors pointe shoes in two new shades – Espresso and Cappuccino. Here’s what Gaynor Minden had to say about diversifying their pointe shoe range:

“Gaynor Minden has always been dedicated to supporting dancers and bringing big innovations to the dance wear market – we’re a company completely made up of current and former dancers — we want to see this art form thrive and we want it to be inclusive.”

We loved that so much, we are now giving YOU an opportunity to win Gaynor Mindens in YOUR size and your FleshTone – Cappuccino or Espresso! Here’s what you need to do to enter:

1. Post a picture of yourself ‘Dancing While Dark’ on Instagram (on or before May 27)
2. Hashtag #dancingwhiledark #corecolors and #gaynorminden
3. Sit back and wait for us to choose our favorite picture – winner to be announced on May 31!

You can definitely be creative with your picture – it doesn’t necessarily have to be ballet related. It can be a fun dance party shot or a picture of you drawing attention to one of the many challenges you face as a dancer of color – that’s up to you! Enter as many times as you like!
