Dance Season Is Back!
The new dance season is here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your dance bag with all the studio essentials. Whether you’re a first-time dancer or a seasoned competitor, having the right basics ensures comfort, confidence, and compliance with your studio dress code. At Dancer’s Market, we’ve curated the top must-have dancewear items to start the season off right.
Core Dancewear Essentials
Most studios are going to require 3 things for all dancers... Leotards, Tights & Shoes.
Leotards
- Always check with your studio first for their dress code. Most studios have specific colors and styles they require!
- If no dress code exists, black, navy and light blue always look great.
- We recommend So Danca for price & comfort, and Claudia Dean for premium fit and style.

Tights

- We recommend always having 2-3 pairs of tights in your dance bag.
- For ultimate flexibility in styles, we recommend convertible tights.
