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.
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 popular choice is leotards, which are also suited to many types of dancing. With ballet lessons in particular, leotards are often held as compulsory because it allows the freedom of movement required. They can also be used for supplementary lessons such as stretching and conditioning, which suits the simple, plain styles and colours that can be bought in bulk.
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.
Specific themes are also well catered for. School days and military themes are always popular, as well as fantasy characters and well known stories or musicals. Big groups all wearing the same costume are usually popular at competitions, and can help to carry the story of a big performance.
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.
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.
