What is so incredibly unique about jazz is that is can take on so many different forms: from contemporary and fluid choreography, to bold and edgy movements. One of our favorite dancwear trends for the season? When jazz takes on a fierce edge!
So what helps makes a costume or routine fierce? We’ve been noticing a few innovative and striking costume trends popping up:
- Lots and lots of black – that staple color for the darker side – seems to be the essential element to creating a look of intensity
- Strong, dynamic style lines that convey confidence and power, to match strong, in-your-face choreography
- Metallic accents like silver zippers and buttons, gold and black rhinestones, and foils and holograms to add a touch of shine
- Textured fabric combinations of faux-leather, mesh, lace, and sequin zsa zsa create another layer of dimension
We are thrilled to feature some of our favorite edgy looks that bring fierceness to the floor! If you are looking for a bold look that turns heads, here are some memorable looks that have left a lasting impression on us:
