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.

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.

Leotards are also available in a range of patterns and colours, which is well suited to competition. Many are made with jazz and especially disco dancing in mind, and often have supplementary features such as head pieces. It is possible to buy bespoke pieces, but there is such a range of styles available that this is not usually necessary.

When attending a competition as a team, lots of clubs like to choose a theme. A number of themes work well with costumes and are relatively inexpensive. Ideas such as military and school days are well catered for, which is often effective in big groups all wearing the same costume.

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.

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.
