Bring texture and a beautifully open back to your class wardrobe with the Mara Dancewear Aura Long Sleeve Leotard in Deep Brown. Fitted sleeves and a high zip neckline create a clean front silhouette, while a large rounded back cut-out adds a striking finishing detail. Made in Spain, Aura combines supportive ribbed stretch fabric with exceptionally soft full front lining.

Best For: Ballet class • Studio rehearsals • Dancers who prefer long sleeves • Supportive ribbed hold • An adjustable front neckline

Why Dancers Love Mara Dancewear Aura Long Sleeve

• Adjust your neckline: The functional front zip lets you wear the collar higher or open it slightly as class progresses.
• Built-in sleeve coverage: Fitted long sleeves outline the arms, with pale contrast cuffs completing the shape.
• A distinctive open back: Pale binding frames the large rounded cut-out, bringing definition to the muted brown fabric.
• Softness beneath the ribbing: Exceptionally soft front lining balances the more substantial outer fabric and adds reassuring coverage.

Mara Aura Deep Brown Ballet Leotard – Fabric & Fit

The 78% nylon and 22% elastane ribbed fabric provides good compression and a close, supportive feel. Fine vertical ribbing gives the colour depth, while four-way stretch follows the torso and arms. Compared with Mara Brisa’s smooth fabric, Aura has a firmer, more held-in character.

Good support and excellent fabric opacity in Deep Brown make it an appealing choice for dancers who enjoy a substantial leotard. The full front lining adds comfort and coverage without lining the entire garment; the back opening remains uncovered. A high-cut ballet leg completes the silhouette.

Check girth and sleeve fit when choosing your size, allowing comfortable room to reach through the arms and torso. Individual fit, support and opacity may vary.

Styling Your Deep Brown Long Sleeve Leotard

Deep Brown has a muted, slightly taupe character that pairs naturally with ballet pink tights. Cream or ivory layers echo the pale zip, cuffs and back edging, while a simple black mesh skirt adds contrast and movement. A small metallic Mara emblem sits beneath the back opening.

Choose according to the Mara Dancewear size chart, using your usual size as a starting point. The ribbed fabric is intended to sit closely against the body; there is no need to size down to create additional compression.

Dance World Fit Tip: Check torso length as well as bust, waist and hips. In a long-sleeve leotard, you should be able to lift your arms comfortably without pulling through the shoulders or neckline. If you fall between sizes, consider your girth and preferred amount of compression before choosing.

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, inside out. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat. Do not iron. These are the manufacturer’s stated care instructions.
