The 2017 dance competition season officially came to a close last weekend with the 2017 NDA College Nationals!
College dance teams have been known to sport a lot of unitard looks at NDA, but this year we saw teams mix it up quite a bit! Check out some of our favorite dance costume trends from the competition (some by TLU, and some by others).

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!

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:

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!
