1 Devil Costume

Looking to create a red-hot devilish show with a wicked vibe? This red catsuit by Alegra is the perfect base for your devil costume for Halloween or nefarious dance show. Grab your pitch fork and devil horns and you're ready to go dancing in your devilish Halloween costume!

2 Angel Costume

Be the angel to the devils! This angel costume unitard can be worn for an ethereal dance show, or why not create a dance-off between the red devils and white angels on stage? Add a pair of our silver angel wings or white feather wings and halo to complete your Halloween dance costume. Alternatively we have lots of lovely white lyrical dance costumes that would make a beautiful angel. Fancy being a dark angel this year? We've got black feather wings and red feather wings to turn your look into something more Hellish for Halloween dance class.

3 Skeleton

A skeleton costume is legendary and totally underrated when it comes to a Halloween dance costume! Using a black or white costume leotard or catsuit as a base, draw on your black/white skeleton bones pattern with our Snazaroo paint. You can then make your skeleton costume as spooky as you like by using face paint to create a creepy skull face. Under the bright stage lights this look will really come alive (excuse the pun), or you can dim the lights so the audience can just make out an ominous bunch of dancing skeletal bones. A spooky and fun outfit for a Halloween dance costume!

4 Colourful Clown Costume

Imagine a stage full of crazily colourful clowns dancing in our Alegra costume catsuits...quite menacing, right?! Find your creepiest clown pattern in our costume shop or choose from these favourite Halloween dance costumes!

The pink and white stars pattern is also one of our faves for a girls' clown costume. Visit the costume catsuits collection to find this pattern and our other clown patterns in your choice of style; they come in differently shaped leotards, catsuits, unitards, patterned costume tops, costume shorts, a circle skirt, costume leggings AND costume pants!

Top your clown costume off with our colourful clown wig or other clown accessories like bowler hats and bow ties.

5 Jester Costume / Circus Costume

Our circus costume catsuits make creepy Halloween dance costumes and work especially well as acro or contortionist outfits. 

The Alegra HAR pattern is one of our most-loved at Move HQ. Dancer Belle is modelling this creepy circus-inspired look in our feature image, so check it out for some face paint inspiration to really help make your creep show come alive.

6 Spider Costume 

Ignite your audience's or fellow fancy dress-up fans' fears with a spider Halloween dance costume! Arachnophobic or not, our spider web patterned costumes are creepy-crawly and guarunteed to leave a lasting impression. Our spider web costumes come in an adults' Alegra Aspen Catsuit or our Rosalie leotard for girls and make spooky Halloween outfits. Want an accessory to make your skin crawl? Add our spider legs wings (pictured above) to your outfit to totally transform into a spider for your Halloween dance costume.

7 Scary Skull Costume

Are you looking for a fun Halloween dance costume that's not too scary? Our Alegra skull pattern comes in a few different styles for adults, like Alegra Josie Leotard and Alegra Aspen Catsuit They're perfect for spooky themed dance shows without going all out horror! We personally love this skull patterned look for a Dios los Muertos (Day of the Dead) costume because it's inspired by Calaveras (sugar skulls). If you're wearing this for your Day of the Dead costume, use Snazaroo face paint to copy a sugar skull from your patterned leo or catsuit.

8 Pumpkin Costume

Don't be too late out this Halloween or you'll turn into a pumpkin! If you're actually looking at transforming into a pumpkin for your Halloween dance costume or dance show this year, wear this orange stirrup costume catsuit with a pair of bright green tights and black jazz shoes! All of these costume items come in children's and adults' sizes, so shop the looks with us! 

9 Alien Costume

Looking for a Halloween costume or fancy dress outfit that's out-of-this-world? Our metallic silver dance costumes using a metallic circle skirt and metallic silver leotard are perfect to create an eerie alien costume. Are you feeling less Galactic and more green? Go all out cheesy for your alien costume with a shiny & bright catsuit.  Find yourself a pair of alien head boppers to complete your Space look for a fabulous Halloween dance costume. 

10 Thriller Dance Costume

We'll never be able to quite recreate the unique essence of Michael Jackson, but this is our take on a dance MJ costume using vibrant metallic red. Wear a metallic red leotard as a base, pull on a pair of metallic flared jazz pants to capture MJ's style and then add an elastic belt to bring the look together. Round up your favourite friendly dancing zombies and you're ready to replicate the Thriller music video! The perfect outfit for any dancer this Halloween.
