Swimsuit for dancing

For dancing, clothes are needed that provide the greatest ability to perform movements, both acrobatic and slow and smooth.

The costume should not be an obstacle in the performance of the dance "pa", but rather, should give additional support to the dancer. The most convenient and comfortable type of clothing for dance classes and training processes is a dance leotard.

What is the difference between a gymnastics leotard and a dance leotard?

Bathing suits for gymnastic classes are a usual training leotard, and bathing suits for dance classes are divided according to the type of dance:

• ballet;
• sports ballroom dancing;
• classic
• dances of the peoples of the world;
• on ice.

Clothing for ballet and choreography is more often a traditional gymnastic bathing suit for training. It can have long sleeves, elegant straps, a semicircular neckline on the back or a high neck, be with or without a skirt.

Among the clothes for ballroom dancing, there are two types - bathing suits for training sessions and bathing suits for performances. A swimsuit may have long or ¾ sleeves. Even swimsuits for ballroom dancing can have a closed or open throat, wide straps.

Costumes for performances are often sewn with catchy colors, they are embroidered with rhinestones, painted with acrylics, decorated with feathers and original patterns.

Swimsuits for world dances in appearance resemble national costumes of different countries, but perform all the tasks of sports bathing suits.

Bathing suits for dancing on ice are often sewn from materials that can retain body heat, so that dancers can comfortably train and skate.Costumes for demonstrations are decorated with machine embroidery with intricate patterns, rhinestones, painting on fabric, shiny threads.

In ballet choreography, calm monophonic swimsuits are preferred - white, beige, black. Swimwear for ballroom dancing and ice dancing often have rich colors - pink, yellow, turquoise, violet, blue. Swimwear for the performance of dances of the peoples of the world have their own, characteristic for the people, colors and decorative elements.

Usually, the color scheme of the costume is selected in contrast with the type of the dancer, as well as with the accessories used in the dance. Color can also reflect the feelings and emotional coloring that the dance itself shows. Do not forget about the visual perception of color and pattern on the figure. Light colors often increase shape, and dark colors make the dancer slimmer. Horizontal lines can expand and divide the body, and vertical lines can lengthen.

When approaching the selection of a leotard for dance classes, it is necessary to take into account the most basic points: the composition of the fabric, the size and design of the bathing suit.

When choosing, be sure to try to stretch your swimsuit. It should quickly take its original form and it should not appear stretching and swelling. The fibers of high-quality fabrics for swimwear have great elasticity, which allows them not to be ironed after washing and the product retains its appearance for a long time.

Any kind of dancing is associated with heavy loads on the body. During daily training and rehearsals, dancers often sweat, so it is not advisable to buy swimwear made from cotton fabrics only. A swimsuit made of pure cotton completely absorbs moisture, but immediately sticks to the body, becomes heavy and will cause inconvenience.

Fabrics with synthetics in their composition remove moisture from the body well, and the skin breathes. Therefore, try to choose a cotton product with the addition of synthetics, for example, elastane. But swimsuits for demonstrations can be chosen with a high content of elastane and lycra, as they better fit the figure.

Also on the market for dance leotards are products from supplex with a small amount of lycra. Such fabric stretches well along and across, does not deform, does not retain moisture and retains color for a long time.

Swimsuits for dancing on ice are sewn from thermal fabrics. This fabric absorbs sweat well and dries quickly. When air circulates from the body through the suit, all moisture is removed, which allows the athlete to be dry and not to freeze. The thermofabric tightly fits the body, which creates excellent muscle compression (pressure on the muscles improves blood circulation, which allows them to stay tired longer).

All dance leotards are dimensionally labeled. All people have their own physique, and this is important to consider when choosing a swimsuit. The task of the swimsuit is to emphasize the figure and hide the flaws. In addition, it is recommended to try on a bathing suit before buying. If the bathing suit sags on the body, it will always interfere with the dancer.

The most suitable option - if the suit is comfortable, it should not be bristling or sagging. The edge of the bathing suit should not cut into the skin, the straps should hold well, not fall off, but also not dig into the shoulders. It is also necessary to pay attention to all the lines and seams. In a quality swimsuit, they will be straight, neat and without sticking out threads. The dance leotard should sit like a glove and fit it everywhere. Then the dancer will clearly see in the mirror how faithfully he performs the exercises and feel his movements.

The design of the dance leotard can be absolutely anything: bright, shiny colors, rhinestones, sequins, embroidery, fabric painting. All these subtleties depend on the personal desire of the dancer or on the theme of his performance and stage image.
