WHY YOU SHOULD BUY DANCEWEAR AT A SPECIALTY STORE

 Dancewear is specialty clothing and quality garments and accessories make a world of difference. Specialty dancewear stores are the right place to buy dancewear and the benefits far outweigh the convenience of shopping online.


Maybe you're a dancer or the parent of one. Whatever your interest is for buying dancewear, here are a few things you want to keep in mind to ensure you buy these specialty clothing in the best manner possible.


1. Buy the Right Dance Clothes

Always choose the dance clothes from the dance clothing store. Dancewear is not the same as general activewear. The best dancewear is the one that has been designed and marketed as such. Specialty dancewear is explicitly made for dancers and so designed to be highly breathable, ultra flexible and durable enough for many many washes. General active-wear may or may not offer these key features, and it is worth the effort and sometimes a bit more cost to get your hands on the best dancewear possible.

2. Buy the Best You Can

Some parents are prone to think that given the waxing and waning interest levels of their kids, second-hand clothing might suffice until the dance bug passes. While you may be able to get away with second-hand leotards and sometimes even shoes, I highly recommend new tights and that too at places that stock these, such as dance studios. While the ones available at department stores might seem really inexpensive and hence tempting, they tend to fall apart a lot faster because of the exertion making the overall cost in the long run way higher. The ones that dance studios sell last a whole lot longer in the process.


3. Ask About Clothing Requirements

Before you buy dancewear, ask the studio what they need you or your child to wear. Some studios define appropriate clothes by way of style, colors, etc. - from being as simple as wearing a particular shade of tights and covering a certain amount of skin to as complicated as buying from the custom designed studio merchandise with the academy's name and logo.


4. Think About Convenience

Practice costumes and everyday class dancewear can be changed into at a dancer's leisure, but dancewear that is worn under or as part of a costume need to have an additional feature- and that is the ability to be donned quickly and conveniently. Do the clothes come with secure fasteners- Can it be laced soon and unlaced? Are the zippers of good quality that can take the quick change? Is the material that will feel too hot and heavy to wear with layers? These factors set apart great dancewear!


5. Get Dance-friendly Material

Cheap polyester dancewear that is sold for few pennies isn't going to cut it if you are a serious dancer. It will only make you break into a swear and cling to your skin even before you probably start dancing! Lightweight clothing made of cotton, mesh, bamboo pulp, spandex are the ones you should lay your hands on. Clothing with moisture wicking properties is the best to help you stay dry and comfortable through hours of practice. It also helps to find clothing that offers excellent support for your body type.


6. Don't Forget the Accessories

It is not enough to have just the basics in place. Accessories such as socks, leg warmers, hoodies, ballet dance bags have to be equally quality clothing to help you stay comfortable. Imagine you are in a cold dance studio in just your leotard wishing you had a warm hoodie that acts as a layer while you warm up, instead of the regular sweater that is making you hot too soon. Consider buying your dancewear and accessories as a set and for your whole body; this is especially important for those starting out. See the advice of a seasoned salesperson or your dance teacher to understand the essential items you will need and then go shopping for them.


Where Can You Buy Dancewear?

With the exponential growth in the dance industry, the choice available today for the first time dancer and the professional who has been on the circuit is immense. Dancewear has now become a complicated matter, and unless you seek information from those who know better, you could go wrong. Stores and brands that specialize in dancewear are now available everywhere making this process somewhat more complicated.
