Embrace light layers

Spring weather can be unpredictable, which makes layered dance wear for spring a total must and a dance wardrobe essential. Starting with a breathable base layer, our Better Basics collection is a perfect base layer as it is made from breathable sweat wicking recycled nylon.

Add Versatile Pieces

When building your dance wardrobe essentials and adding layered dance wear  for spring, think functional and fashionable. Wrap sweaters, ballet skirts, convertible tights, and shrug tops are all perfect for layering. They’re easy to slip on and off between classes and ideal for transitioning from warm-up to center.

Have fun with your textures & tones 

How to layer your dancewear for spring isn’t just about staying warm, it’s also about playing with style! Add some colour into your spring dance warm ups, we are loving pastels at the moment and they are the perfect spring shade for the studio. Don’t forget about the floral too, add some pattern into your spring dance warm ups with a floral skirt or leotard.

Choose layering staples that move with you

The best dance layering techniques involve pieces that stretch and breathe with your body. Think cropped sweaters, knitted shorts, or wrap pants that allow full range of motion. If it restricts your arabesque or your grand jeté, it’s not making the cut. 

Spring is all about a fresh start and a reset so give your spring dance warm ups the same energy! With the right spring dance warm ups and smart dance layering techniques, you can build looks that are both practical and polished.
