Advice For Choosing Dance Team Uniforms And Costumes

By Lana Bray


Choosing dance team uniforms is an important aspect of putting a group together. It is a simple and effective way of uniting the group and showing other clubs who you are. Costumes are also a great way to show off your dancers at competitions and performances.

One of the most obvious factors that affects the choice of clothing is the type of dancing available. Most forms of dancing will be suited to loose clothes such as a tee shirt and leggings. Tee shirts can be printed with relatively little expense, meaning they can be bought in bulk and sold to the club members for a low price as soon as they join. Alternatively, they could be offered with no cost just for joining as an incentive to feel included and continue with the club.

Another type of clothing that suits different forms of dancing is a leotard. The basic plain and simple style is practical for lessons and practices, as well as for strength training and flexibility work. This is a great way to incorporate new dancers and have them feel like they are part of the group as soon as they join.

For competitions and showcase events, there are plenty of coloured and patterned leotards available. This is especially popular with disco dancing and jazz styles. Some companies will be able to offer bespoke styles, although the range of costumes already available means that this will not always be necessary, particularly for larger clubs that will benefit from bulk buying.

Specific themes are also well catered for. School days and military themes are always popular, as well as fantasy characters and well known stories or musicals. Big groups all wearing the same costume are usually popular at competitions, and can help to carry the story of a big performance.

Another important item of dancing clothing to consider is the shoes. This can be expensive but is often very important for the type of dancing, especially with tap and ballet. However, other types of shoe are more versatile, for example character shoes and jazz shoes. If jazz shoes are used as the standard uniform, this allows the dancers more financial room to buy special patterned shoes to accompany a performance outfit.

As well as clothes to be used for practice and performance, you may consider printing other forms of clothing that your dancers can wear at other times. This is a great way for the members of the club to feel united and to promote the club and attract more people. This can also be tailored to advertise a specific event like an important end of year performance, for example.

The basic dance team uniforms can often be bought for a fairly low cost and then sold to the dancers at an attractive price. Special costumes can also be purchased for the purpose of competitions and showcasing events. It is also a simple way to increase unification and bring the club together, especially if you decide to use special incentives and offers such as allowing new dancers a free piece of clothing, or perhaps a discount for loyalty.
