It was an exhilarating weekend for synchronized skating fans - the 2017 World Synchronized Skating Championship was held in sunny Colorado Springs!  

We were excited to be able to take a field trip to Colorado watch the international competition in person!  24 teams from 19 different countries competed for the world synchronized skating title - so much amazing talent!

Our favorite part?  The skating dresses, of course!  We can't take credit for these stunning dresses, but here are a few of our favorite costume trends from the competition!

Team: Benilde-St. Margaret's High School

Check out some awesome photography by MN Prep Photo from the recent Minnesota State High School League's 2017 State Dance Team Tournament!  

A few trends we spotted?  Plenty of sequin lace, jewel tones, and romantic looks still rule for jazz costumes.  

For kick, leggings are still the favorite to emphasize lines!  But we loved spotting a few costumes that pushed genres like St Charles' football kick routine with a hip hop edge, and Chaska's Odyssey themed high kick costume with a jazz feel.  

Here are a few of the teams we were proud to have outfitted with their #LineUpLook:

University of Michigan Synchronized Skating team took the Collegiate National title!

The synchronized skating season came to an exciting conclusion this past weekend with the 2017 US Synchronized Skating Nationals in Rockford, Illinois!  Teams competed for the national titles and a chance to go to Worlds!  What's next?  The Haydenettes and Crystalettes will be headed to ISU's Synchro Worlds in Colorado Springs this April, representing Team USA!  Congratulations, ladies!

Check out these fun highlight reels from US Figure Skating, plus a few customer photos from around the web!

Check out a few photos from around the web at this past weekend's NBA All Star game in New Orleans!!  

Did you know each basketball team also sends one NBA dancer to the All Star game in addition to the players?  It's quite an honor for these talented ladies to be chosen, so we sent a special outfit to the dancers to celebrate! 

We had fun watching everyone represent their teams this past weekend!  Congrats ladies!

It was a whirlwind weekend two weeks ago for Synchronized Skating Teams!  Skaters competed at the Midwestern,  Pacific Coast, and Eastern Synchronized Skating Championships in hopes for a competition spot at Nationals!  

These events are some of our favorites for watching synchronized skating dress trends!  From thematic to traditional, skate teams always know how to put a feminine twist on any costume!  

Check out a few of the teams we were proud to have outfitted with their #LineUpLook at the Mid and Pacific Coast Championships!

It was a whirlwind couple of days for high school teams this past weekend at NDTC Nationals!  If you're a dance fan like ourselves, odds are you skipped the Super Bowl and were live streaming UDA Nationals instead!  

With so many teams coming together at the largest national competition for dance, it's always fun to see the wide range of costume styles!  Here were a few of our favorite dance costume trends from the competition!  While we can't take credit for creating many of these costumes, we were lucky enough to work with quite a few teams!!
