Advice For Choosing Dance Team Uniforms And Costumes

By Lana Bray


When putting together a dancing group, selecting dance team uniforms can be a great way to unite the members. It is also a good way to show others at competitions who your dancers are representing, and can identify your club from others. You can also choose a special uniform for showcases 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.

Leotards are also popular in dancing, especially with classical styles like contemporary and ballet. These are also relatively cheap, and plain colours are often favoured for lessons. Black and navy are popular and work well with dance skirts. Again, these can be bought in bulk by the club and sold to the dancers 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.

For group competitions, many teams like to choose a theme to which the music, dancing style and costume are tailored. School days and army themes are generally quite popular, so these sorts of styles are usually cheap to buy in bulk. Most companies will have a range of ideas for the teams to choose from.

The uniform will also be affected by the shoes that the dancers need to wear. Forms of dancing such as tap, ballet and Irish are highly dependent upon the correct footwear, so this needs to be adhered to in order to learn the moves properly. However, there are much more versatile styles available, such as soft ballet slippers, character shoes and jazz trainers. The versatility allows the dancers more financial flexibility when it comes to special shoes needed for a particular performance.

In addition to clothing to be used for actual dancing, some clubs like to invest in extra pieces that can be worn outside of the group environment. Printing jackets is an easy way for the members to remain united outside of the practices. This can also be an effective method of advertising the club and attracting new people.

Most clubs will choose to have basic dance team uniforms that can be made and bought quite cheaply. This makes it accessible to the members and increases the sense of unification. In addition to this, special costumes can be bought in addition to the uniform so that the dancers really feel at their best when they are performing.
