Choose the neckline that suits your class outfit with the Mara Dancewear Reversible Knit Ballet Top. Wear the shallow boat neck at the front for more upper-chest coverage, or turn the top front-to-back to reveal a deeper scoop. Soft rib-knit fabric, long sleeves and a cropped fit bring gentle warmth to ballet warm-ups and rehearsal breaks. Made in Spain, it is a simple layer with two ways to wear it.

Best For: Ballet warm-ups • Early barre • Rehearsal breaks • Gentle arm and torso warmth • Dancers who enjoy a choice of neckline

Why Dancers Love the Mara Dancewear Reversible Knit Top

• Choose what shows: Bring the deeper scoop forward to frame your leotard neckline, or wear the boat neck at the front for greater coverage.
• No waist ties to arrange: The cropped pull-on shape gives your outfit a clean finish without knots or overlapping wrap panels.
• Soft over a camisole: Cosy knit feels comfortable against bare arms and shoulders when layered over sleeveless dancewear.
• Coverage through the torso: Fabric across the front and back adds warmth beyond the shoulders, with a short hem that keeps the layer compact.

Mara Reversible Ballet Warm-Up Top – Fabric & Fit

Made from 48% viscose, 27% polyester, 21% nylon and 4% elastane, the soft rib-knit fabric has a gently textured surface and stretch for comfortable movement. Its lightweight feel makes it easy to layer, providing gentle warmth across the arms and cropped torso.

The neat, body-following shape has long sleeves and two different necklines: a wide, shallow boat neck on one side and a deeper rounded scoop on the other. Reversing the top front-to-back changes where the opening sits. The fit has no adjustable ties or fastenings.

The fine knit allows some of the dancewear beneath to remain visible. Check the size guide and allow comfortable room across the shoulders and through the sleeves, then test your reach with your usual leotard underneath. Individual fit, warmth and feel may vary.

Wearing Your Reversible Knit Ballet Top

Wear the scoop at the front when you want your camisole neckline to remain part of the outfit. Turn the boat neck forward for a more covered upper chest and an open scoop at the back. Pair with a ballet skirt for early barre or warm-up trousers during rehearsal breaks; the cropped hem keeps the overall shape neat.

Dance World Tip: Try both neckline positions over your favourite leotard before class to see how its straps and back details sit beneath each opening.
