Welcome to Fudge Apparel
where movement meets mindset, and every stitch says, “Yes, anyone can dance.”
I’m Kari—YouTuber, graphic designer, mom of three, late-blooming ballerina, and the heart behind Fudge Apparel. I created this brand because I believe dance (and style) should be joyful, empowering, and accessible—no matter your age, background, or the last time you touched your toes.

Fudge started as a playful idea during my own adult ballet journey. I was tired of dancewear that didn’t feel like me—too young, too rigid, too “you should’ve started at five.” So I created a line that reflects the real-life rhythm of adult dancers and creative movers: comfortable, expressive, and unapologetically fun.
But Fudge is more than clothes. It’s a movement (pun intended) to rewrite the story that dance is only for the young, the flexible, or the professionally trained. Our goal? To encourage every adult who’s ever dreamed of dancing to show up as they are, move how they want, and feel amazing doing it.
Whether you’re heading to class, running errands, or dancing in your kitchen, Fudge is here to support your journey—with gear that fits your life, not just your leotard.
Thanks for being part of this beautifully imperfect, joy-filled dance community. Let’s keep moving.
