Choosing a dance leotard can be easy – get one that’s perfect for your taste, breathable and comfortable, up to your studio’s dress code, and just priced right – all of which are qualities of a high-quality dance leotard.
However, just how important is it to get a high-quality dance leotard, and is it really worth it to get it just for the advantages it gives you?
At Mino Dance, we wholeheartedly help customers find the best leotard for their needs, and this article will showcase the benefits of getting a high-quality leotard for your next performance.
While it’s up to you to wear whatever colour of the leotard you want to showcase, we’ll focus on the advantages of black leotards in this article as the most versatile and most used studio colour.
High-end leotards offer a range of advantages for dancers seeking optimal performance - here are just a few of them:
One of the foremost advantages of having a black leotard in your wardrobe is that it’s practical – it’s why it’s been around for ages.
Dancing can make you work up a sweat - and if you have a lower-quality leotard, you might unconsciously create sweat spots that other colours tend to reveal more.
Black leotards on the other hand, subtly hide most sweat issues better than any other coloured leotard. Quality leotards also have moisture-wicking properties, allowing dancers to focus on their performance and less on the paranoia of managing their hygiene, and the sticky discomfort that comes passenger to it.
Higher-quality leotards such as our Energetiks Charlotte Leotard are made out of ProForm™ performance fabric that keeps you cool and dry as you dance, and makes cleaning easy afterwards.
The stretchy, breathable materials used in high-quality leotards allow dancers to constantly move with ease, have the support to maintain proper form and showcase their commitment to the performance.
High-quality leotards will also allow dancers to push their bodies as hard as they need to, refining their technique while avoiding any discomfort that lower-quality leotards may cause.
In dancing, there’s nothing more important than to make a strong impression while under the spotlight, and a high-quality leotard will help you achieve that impact on the audience.
In classes, a high-quality leotard is a professional and elegant way to culturally contribute to the discipline, looking the part and elevating its standard to both your instructor and choreographer.
Moreover, black leotards are the go-to colour for studios since they show off the torso from the legs better than any other colour, allowing your dance instructor to observe and teach you better.
Take our Annabelle Camisole for example, this leotard’s broad straps and princess cut are perfect for dancers who want to highlight their clean lines and well-structured form.
Dancing in front of an audience can be unnerving, especially if it’s your first time. However, high-quality leotards can help in boosting your self-confidence.
A great leotard not only feels perfectly snug to wear but also accentuates a dancer’s physique – a factor that can feel incredibly empowering in the agency of your own body, for those on-stage.
The leotard can even contribute to exuding an aura of confidence, and like practicality, allows them to focus more on their performance and less on worrying about what they look like.
A high-quality leotard’s role is more than just to make you look good on stage – its job is also to make you feel good while you perform your heart out. That’s why it’s important to get a high-quality, practical leotard (or two!) present in your wardrobe.
