Choosing Different 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.

The type of clothing you choose will depend on the type of dancing offered by the club. Most dances will be suited to loose clothing that is easy to move in, for example leggings and a tee shirt. A cheap and simple solution is to print the club name and logo on a tee shirt, as these can be made in bulk and sold for a small price to the dancers so that they feel included as soon as they join. They could even be offered free as an incentive because of the relative low cost of production.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
