Advice For Choosing Dance Team Uniforms And Costumes

By Lana Bray


An easy but effective way of bringing together all the different members of a dancing group is to choose dance team uniforms. This is a way of representing the club at away events and performances, and also to unite the dancers with each other. Special outfits and costumes are another way of presenting dancers at competitions and shows.

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.

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.

Most clubs will also choose to specify a certain type of shoe that must be worn as part of the uniform. Sometimes this will be defined by the type of dancing being taught, for example ballet and tap require specific shoes. Although some clubs allow dancers to begin with bare feet, simple jazz shoes or character shoes are versatile and will suit dances such as modern and contemporary, and can be worn with character outfits in performances.

As a promotional tool, some clubs are now choosing to produce more relaxed outfits that can be worn outside of the dancing club. Jackets are the most popular way to do this, as the name and logo can be printed on the back and worn alongside other daily outfits. This is a simple way of spreading the word of your club and attracting new members, especially if contact details or a website address are also printed on the item of clothing.

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.
