The Right Dancewear

Are you a dancer with an upcoming performance? Are you worried more about what you're going to wear? As a dancer, it's not only important to practice your routine to perfection, but during performance, you want to make sure that your image is perfect--that your costume matches your dance very well. If you're wondering what to wear to your next dance performance, here are a few suggestions to keep in mind to make sure that you're wearing the

right shoes, the right dancewear, and the right costumes.

Selecting the Right Dance Shoes

Footwork is the foundation of any dance. As a dancer, you spend so much time on your feet that it is really important to have the right gear when it comes to dancing. The wrong dance shoes can seriously and negatively impact your performance, but the right footwear can really propel your routine to the next level and make you feel like you're on cloud nine.

Selecting the Right Dance Shoes

When you are performing, make sure you wear shoes that are appropriate, and make sure to coordinate with others in your team. You might want to be more conservative or go all out, depending on the type of performance. If you're a ballet or jazz dancer, you have more restricted choices in shoes, but you'll also have less to worry about. If you're on a hip hop dance team, you might have more leeway in shoes, and you'll most likely be wearing crazier sneakers than what the average person can pull off. In any case, coordinating with your team and making sure that you're comfortable should be one of the most important considerations when selecting your dance shoes.

Picking the Right Dancewear

The right dancewear can really help you stand out or work well with your team. Make sure that it is both comfortable and matches the occasion. Many times if one dancer has different routines, they have to change fast enough into another totally different costume, so make sure that if you have to change, that your clothes come off easily.

Picking the Right Dancewear

Velcro or snap on buttons might be helpful in this case. Conversely, if your dance clothes are loose and you're doing an intense routine, make sure to securely fasten your clothes ahead of time or be prepared for some giggles from the audience!

Choosing the Right Dance Costumes

The right dance costumes can be critical if you are doing cultural dances or really trying to stand out and make a statement. You might have a fun time making your own costumes as well that can be an additional bonding activity among your dance mates. If you want some more ideas, you might want to check out other websites or start following dancers or dance costume companies that regularly showcase their new dance costumes.
