When it comes to dancewear tops , it's vital to find those that are comfortable and attractive. Otherwise, if you buy an ill-fitting top, you'll be more focused on constantly adjusting it than on doing your best in rehearsal or during your performance. At Just for Kix, we've got you covered (literally). From racerback tanks to sequin shirts, we can provide you with the stylish and easy fitting dancewear tops every dancer needs.

Some of our most popular products include our Alexandra Sequin USA Tank, which will add plenty of sparkle during your performance, as well as the Adult Racerback Bra, which is perfect for rehearsal days. If you're looking for more coverage, consider our Sequin Black Tee, featuring the word "dance" in sequins. You can even choose from many different color options for both the shirt and sequins.

Dancewear Bottoms

Whether you want dance capris, leggings, jazz pants, or something else entirely, Just for Kix has a variety of fabrics and styles to choose from. Our Alexandra High Waisted Legging, for instance, provides a fitted, tapered look, featuring a high waistband for ultimate comfort. It's great for dance teams, as well as to wear to practice or performance. Our Body Wrappers Boy Cut Short, on the other hand, packs a spicier punch and is available in a wide array of colors.

Dancewear Leotards

Buying the right dancewear leotards can be tricky. But considering that you wear these in most dance classes, it's essential you find good fitting ones. It's important to make sure the ones you purchase provide enough support, especially in the bust area, for comfort and movement. Many leotards include an insert bra or a full front lining, like our Capezio Tank Leotard, so you don't have to worry about wearing a bra while dancing. For kids, look for dancewear leotards made from breathable, quick-drying fabric, such as our Tank Leotard by Capezio. These will provide the most comfort and flexibility during rigorous rehearsals and routines.

Dancewear Undergarments

When you're buying dancewear undergarments, it's important to consider your body type. Some dancers are petite, but many are not. And choosing the right undergarments can make a big difference in how comfortable and secure you feel while practicing or performing.

At Just for Kix, our Capezio Seamless Bra, for instance, is sleek, supportive, and modest. It also contours beautifully for a secure natural look; that way, you never have to worry about it bunching up into unsightly wrinkles. It also features silky Tactel Spandex with a DanceDry finish to accelerate evaporation, keeping your body dry and comfortable.

Another popular product -- which can be worn on its own or as an undergarment -- is our Capezio Basic Camisole Leotard. It features comfortable adjustable straps with a front bra for adults and full front lining for youth. It also comes in a wide variety of colors and is perfect for all your dancing and costuming needs.

Dancewear Knitwear

No dancer's outfit is complete without the right accessories and knitwear. If you really want to add a splash of style to your dancewear, check out our Capezio 24" leg warmers. Likewise, our Mondor Striped Legwarmers are both comfortable and stylish, and come in a variety of colored stripes -- making them a trendy addition to your dancewear wardrobe. If it's modesty you're after, we also offer a Capezio Youth Wrap Top, which is perfect to throw over a leotard or camisole.

When it comes to buying dancewear, fit is critically important. Before you do purchase anything, make sure you check your measurements against the size charts provided on each product. All measurements should be taken while standing and in stocking feet. Here are a few more tips to help you take correct measurements:

  • If you're measuring sleeves, make sure your arms are at your sides and relaxed.
  • If you're measuring for bottoms, then measure your inseam from the inside top of your thigh to your ankle.
  • For leotard measurement, measure your torso from the center of your shoulders down the front, through the crotch, and up your back to the starting point.

At Just for Kix, our goal is to help you find dancewear that's as unique as you, as well as comfortable and affordable. In fact, we think that choosing the right dancewear is just as important as intense training -- that's why we offer such a wide selection of options, whether you're shopping for yourself or your child.
