How To Add Layers To Your Dance Look

Cosy season is upon us which means shorter days, frosty mornings and most importantly colder studios! It's vital for dancers to be prepped with the right warm ups for the start and end of class, keeping the body warm and the muscles ready to move is so important to avoid injury. Not sure where to start with layering your dance warm ups? We recommend a base layer, mid layer and outer layer read on to find out more…

Base layer - long sleeve leotards

A long sleeve leotard is a winter dancewear must have! Our favourites are the Move Dance Caprice Leotard featuring a round scoop neckline with a shelf bra lining fitting comfortably under the bust. Despite the long sleeves, you'll never feel restricted when dancing. We also love the Move Dance Alicia Long Sleeve Leotard made from a buttery soft matt nylon fabric that has high coverage and excellent shape retention for a perfect fit and ultimate comfort.

Mid Layer - Ballet wrap or shrug

Stay warm and cosy with a ballet wrap or shrug, our ballet warm ups are super soft. We absolutely love the Move Dance Everly Ballet Dance Wrap and the Move Dance Giovanna Knit Shrug. The luxe feel of these chunky knits will keep warm for the full class.

Outer layer - Tracksuit and booties

For an outer layer our Move Dance Regina Heat Retention Jacket and Move Dance Hattie Heat Retention Trousers are perfect to get you from class to class whilst still staying warm. Pair with our cool quilted Move Dance Willow Warm Up Booties perfect to slip over your pointe shoes or ballet shoes!

Our dance warm ups enable you to prepare your muscles properly for dance class whilst still being comfortable to perform your best. Shop our dance warm ups, dance shoes and dancewear here.
