What does ruching do in a skirt? 🤔

When fabric is gathered toward the centre, the eye tends to follow that line inward. The folds create texture and dimension, and depending on the body, the effect will be different.

🩷On a fuller frame, the ruched front draws attention toward the waist while the mesh layer drapes away from the body rather than sitting against it. The side slit pulls the eye down to the leg. The skirt does its work quietly.

🖤On a slimmer frame, the same ruching adds dimension and curve. The relaxed fit gives the hip area presence it wouldn't have in a flat slip skirt.

Shown here in pink and black, DanceCLO Whip skirt does the job of highlighting the right areas really well.

Practice wear doesn't have to be black. We said it.

Customizable Basic Leotard + Cuban Heat Skirt is one of our most loved combos! Both come in Easy Move fabric - breathable, quick-dry and perfect for active sessions.

Ever worn a leotard that felt like it was working against you by the end of practice?

✅The Basic Leotard in Easy Move is built around one idea - the fabric should disappear the moment you put it on. Soft, breathable, quick-dry, and shape-retaining through the kind of session Eva is putting in here - for hours.👀

✅The Calypso Ballroom Skirt in Atlantic Blue pairs exactly the way you'd hope. Yoke construction keeps it in place through every dance. The front slit handles everything else. 😉

Both available for order on our website ❤️

You probably own at least one bodysuit from a fashion brand. And you probably wore it to the dance practice. A dance leotard looks similar from the outside, but they're doing completely different jobs.

A casual bodysuit is built to disappear under jeans. Oftentimes it's ❌non-athletic fabric, ❌thong cut, ❌light or plastic snaps. Lift your arms over your head and it pulls, bunches, rides wrong. That's not a design flaw, because it was never built for this type of movement.

DanceCLO leotards are built for dance:

✅Reinforced shoulders for frame
✅ Neck and shoulder lines engineered to stay put when your arms go up
✅ Reinforced snaps strong enough to stay in place securely
✅ Built-in panties or shorts, not a thong, because mid-routine you can't be thinking about coverage.

Every detail has a reason it's there. Want to customize yours? Head over to our website.

The Maritime Chic stripe didn't come from a catalogue. The exact stripe size and weight was designed in our Halifax studio, then produced by a leading European textile mill in Soft Matte fabric that moves the way dancewear should.

Three ways to wear it on the floor demonstrated in this video:
→ Drift Top - wear it as a throw over a leotard or as a standalone, cold-shoulder cutouts, adjustable ties at the back;

→ La Mer Leotard - off-shoulder, open and elegant without overexposure;

→ Anchor Top - mock neck, ruched waist, (top also comes with detachable sash for when you want to change the look).

This is what the Maritime Collection is built on: every detail considered by people who dance in it, not just design it, and finished to a standard that shows up every time you move.

Easy Move fabric gets talked about A LOT and what dancers say consistently is that they stop noticing it when they wear practice wear made of it. Intensive studio sessions in our customizible Basic Leotard bring the point - you're not thinking about adjusting anything, you're just dancing.

What is your favorite colour combination?

Most dancers who say leotards don't work for them may have been wearing the wrong style. Neckline, sleeve length, and coverage vary enough between styles that it genuinely matters which one you choose. The Basic Customizable leotard is built around that idea. So when you choose, start with the neckline as each option does something different on the floor:

➡️ Boatneck - sits wider across the collarbone, elegant in ballroom frame, highlights the shoulder line
➡️ Scoop neck - open and classic, works across styles, relaxed but polished
➡️ V-neck - draws the eye down, elongates the neckline, adds a slightly more dressed-up feel
➡️ Mock neck - clean and minimal, great for dancers who want coverage at the neck without feeling restricted
➡️ Round neck - simple and versatile, the everyday workhorse

Then choose your sleeve length from long to short, and your bottom cut in panties or shorts depending on what's more comfortable to you. When you choose Easy Move fabric your leotard will feel second-skin soft, lightweight, and breathable enough for the longest practice days.

If arm coverage in frame is the issue, the Basic Fancy has raglan mesh sleeves that handle it without adding bulk. For something a little more dressed up, add ruffle cuffs for a polished look on the floor. And for the lightest option, choose sleeveless Basic Light leotard with a mesh back.

All with secure snap closure.

"If you dress professionally, if you put yourself into that character and that mindset, you will be more successful. When you look good, you feel good"

Brenton Mitchell coaches and dances professionally at Arthur Murray Halifax , one of our Studio Affiliate Partners and when he talks about what actually goes into developing as a confident dancer, it's not what you may expect him to say.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever received from a coach?
