• Why should dance companies use a practice leotard to make dance costumes?

    When you have a long dance season and put on repeated performances of the same show, using the same costume, it’s important that your costume is held together with more than safety pins and prayers. Because of that, many dancers will turn practice leotards into dance costumes for a long performance season.

    This buying option leaves them plenty of room for creativity. These imaginative performers convert and embellish their dancing garment on their own. While we can put custom rhinestones on practice leotards, some dancers and designers add more embellishments such as feathers themselves. The benefit that performers can gain from buying Motionwear practice leotards is that they’re very durable and last for a very long time.

    There are certain types of dance where Motionwear leotards can be worn as costumes without any embellishment, such as jazz or ballet. Our company even has a “teen catalog” that performers can get costumes from. Sometimes people tend to think of it as a costume catalogue but it’s really not. It is primarily created for teen and dance team competitions.

    When performers want to create a different look on their dance outfit, our company can help them do it by introducing them to gymnastics wear fabric. This fabric is normally brighter than dancewear fabric, which lets dancers get a completely different look and feel to their outfits.

    As mentioned earlier, the company doesn’t really do any excessive beading on our practice leotards. It is because we would rather stay with what we do best and it obviously is our style and the fit of our garment. We focus on the performance fabric that can be converted into a costume or something different.

    A lot of performers and dance companies are turning to Motionwear practice dancewear for their costumes. The leotards can be worn multiple times, and are not going to break down on the performers, unlike some traditional costumes that can fall apart after just a couple weeks of wearing them.

    Our customers are very pleased with our products and their quality. They know we produce durable and wearable dancewear, and that this year’s costume can be next year’s costume wear as well. For those creative types, they can make a whole new costume just by adding different shorts, or pairing a skirt with their current leotards. It’s fun and doesn’t cost a whole lot of money. This idea has become very useful for everybody in this economy. We have seen a lot of people starting to cut back and becoming more mindful of their costume budget, and reusing some of their costumes the following year.
