Whether you’re searching for a new sparkling jazz ensemble or a flowy lyrical dress, there’s a wide range of new looks to try out this summer. With this is mind, we’ve put together a guide on the hottest summer dancewear styles.
Capri Tights
If you’re a lyrical dancer who wears footed tights, you’ll know how hot and impractical they can be in the summer months. So if you’re looking for another option, you can always go with capri tights – they look like bicycle shorts – that you’d wear over a leotard.
Colourful Leotards
The summer months mean fun colours that put an extra spring in your step. Colourful leotards are perfect for the warmer months and not just because they look good. Wearing bright colours can make you feel more confident and every dancer needs confidence. Also a bold colour might help you stand out in auditions – a great addition to your summer dance wardrobe don’t you think?
When choosing your colourful leotard, bear in mind that in the summer, most ballet and lyrical dancers opt for short sleeve leotards made from sweat-wicking fabrics. According to Just for Kix, a website featuring girls dancewear, “Buying the right dancewear leotards can be tricky. But considering that you wear these in most dance classes, it’s essential you find good fitting ones. It’s important to make sure the ones you purchase provide enough support, especially in the bust area, for comfort and movement.”
Light and Flowy
Light and flowy dancewear is not only pratical for summer, it can also reflect the particular style of your dance. For example if you’re a lyrical dancer looking to portray the emotion and the spirit of the dance, you should look for fluid designs full of movement to accentuate your shapes and steps.
Camisoles
This one is for jazz dancers. If you’re looking for something trendy, pair jazz pants with a camisole. Perfect for sticky summer days, camisoles are cool and light. Wearing one will also help make your movements more flexible and comfortable. If you want to make a statement, you can get really ostentatious with galaxy leggings and an edgy graphic camisole.
Crop Tops
As temperatures rise you’ll see crop tops in nearly all of your dance lessons. Dancewear crop tops are great in summer because they are supportive and allow your skin to breathe. If you’re a jazz dancer looking for something on the flashier side, you could always choose a fringe asymmetrical or a sequined crop top to go with your leggings.
Harem Pants
As far as hip-hop dance summer styles go, you can bet your bottom dollar that the overall dress code is always going to be casual. This dance style requires looser bottoms and tops since they are more or less the norm. Light and comfortable, harem pants are an ever-popular dancewear item and are seriously stylish for summer.
It’s never been easier to discover the hottest dancewear styles. Use these guidelines to help you or your daughter find the perfect warm weather style this year no matter what type of dance she loves.
