What to Wear - Dance Edition
Let’s showcase your strength, style, and artistry — beautifully.
Whether we’re in studio or on location, the goal is to capture what makes you uniquely you as a dancer. Here's how to prepare your wardrobe to help us do just that:
🩰 1. Start With the Basics
- Leotards – Bring your go-to favorites! Classic black is always stunning, but don’t be afraid to show off bold colors or unique cuts that flatter your lines.
- Tights – Pack a few options: pink, black, and maybe even a fun or fashion pair depending on the mood of your shoot.
- Form-fitting dancewear – Two-piece sets, biketards, or crop tops with high-waisted shorts or leggings all work well to show off your form and movement.
🎭 2. Add Personality & Texture
- Flowy skirts or dresses – These can add a touch of drama, especially for turns, leaps, or windy outdoor shots.
- Oversized sweaters, denim jackets, or layers – Great for warmups or a more editorial, lifestyle vibe. It’s fun to mix something unexpected in!
- Unique costumes or fashion pieces – Got a costume you loved from a recent performance? Let's use it! Anything with texture, tulle, sequins, or movement photographs beautifully.
🩴 3. Don’t Forget the Shoes (or lack of them)
- Ballet, pointe, jazz, or contemporary shoes – Bring what fits your style and technical focus.
- Bare feet – Sometimes the most powerful images are the raw, grounded ones.
💄 4. Hair + Makeup Tips
- Hair – Bring hair ties, bobby pins, a brush, and hairspray. You’ll likely want to change styles mid-session (bun, braid, down and flowing).
- Makeup – A little polish goes a long way on camera. Natural but defined is key. Think: foundation or tinted moisturizer, mascara, blush, and a neutral lip color or gloss.
✨ 5. Final Notes
- Bring options! The more we have to choose from, the more we can customize each setup and shot to match the mood.
- Keep it clean. Avoid logos or distracting graphics unless they’re part of the story you want to tell.
- Confidence is your best accessory. You don’t have to look like anyone else — just like the strongest, most radiant version of yourself.
