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 post is written by our owner, Deb Erickson, in conjunction with her daughter, Trista Erickson.  We post this not as medical professionals, but as a small apparel manufacturer looking to help our community in any way in the fight against the COVID-19 crisis.  Click through the links below to reference all original articles for further reading.  

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!

Another season has come to an end for North Dakota dance teams, culminating in the 2020 NDADD State Dance Competition at the end of January.  The competition featured teams from around the state doing their best Pom, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and High Kick dances!

From Bismarck's trend-setting Pom unitards to Valley City's Olympic-themed Kick costumes, we're always inspired by the ideas North Dakota teams bring to us year after year! We were honored to outfit some of the teams at this year's competition, check out some highlights below.  

Congrats on another great season, friends! 

Audition season has arrived! and we're kicking it off in style, with 6 new collections of tryout apparel!  From edgy to girly, there's a mixture of looks to match any one's style.

We're so proud of all the high school dance teams who finished their season competing at the Wisconsin State Championship just a couple weeks ago! We always love seeing our friends' beautiful dance costume designs come to life on the floor. Wisconsin teams sure know how to design gorgeous and innovative custom dance costumes!
