Grit and glamour collided this past weekend at one of the most prestigious collegiate championships - UDA College Nationals. 

After months of hard work and determination, dance and cheer teams from all over the nation showed up in a big way. We're lucky to collaborate with so many incredibly talented teams on their custom dance costumes and we were inspired by the creativity, performances and sparkle! Congratulations to all of the athletes! Check out some of the teams we had the honor of outfitting for this event. 

When it comes to photoshoots, it's hard not to be in awe of our models - their flexibility, technique, and artistry never fails to impress us!  But we were a little thunderstruck last year when we heard that on of our models, Emy Urdahl was selected as Tremaine's 2021 Senior Dancer of the Year! 

Emy just finished her senior year at Dance Arts Centre in Chanhassen, Minnesota, accomplished studio in our back yard that holds a special place in our hearts (it's home for our Choreographers, Pam and Mollie). We've been lucky enough to work with her for a few years.  She came to us through a model call audition, and actually started her first shoot with us as a last minute replacement - how lucky for us! 

We chatted with Emy about her experience this year in the convention world, and what her plans are for the future.  Check out the Q & A below! 

It's safe to say the past year has been anything but ordinary. From postponements to virtual competitions, this year brought many new challenges for competition. But it also brought us so much joy to see you work through the ups and downs to finally dance together again! It may not look the same, but the spirit and passion only dancers embody are still there!  

We had the honor of working with so many local teams this year, helping routines come to life with outfits that embody each team's theme.  Check out some of the Minnesota teams we were lucky enough to help create their very own #LineUpLook.

We recently launched a new line of face masks in some bold and fun prints.  To celebrate, we turned those prints into free wallpaper downloads for your desktop, tablet or phone!  Just a little something to brighten your screen ! :) 

While teams are on hold, we're continuing to look back at highlights from this past season!  One of our favorite competitions of the year -  the Eastern Synchronized Skating  Sectional Championships - was held this past January in  Albany, New York.  There simply isn’t a better way to capture the hard work of coaches, skaters, and costume details than some great action photos!  Here's a look at some of our favorite photos from the event! 

As we do our duty to stay at home, we've been starting to feel nostalgic.  A plethora of social media challenges means plenty of throwback images to revel in!  Recently, we've been taking a look back at this past season and reliving some of our own favorite highlights!

This past January, synchronized skating teams across all levels competed at the Midwestern and Pacific Coast Synchronized Skating Championships held in Wichita, Kansas! Of course our favorite part about the event is seeing so many gorgeous costumes and new trends on the ice. This year we saw a lot of ombres, some unique themes from edgy neon skeletons to beauty queens, and the ever-trending vibrant colors that pop on the ice.

Check out a few of the teams we were proud to have outfitted with their #LineUpLook below!
