If you're a member of the dance community, we have a feeling you (like us!) were live streaming UDA College Nationals this weekend! We were blown away by all the incredible talent - technique, skills, precision, and costume design get more and more impressive every year!! 

UDA College Nationals are always a source of inspiration for choreography and costumes, and we find the trends for high school dance line usually start here!  While we watched, we made note of a few repeating themes in regards to costume design.  We can't take credit for all of these costumes and trends, but here are a few of our favorites!!

In case you missed it, Monday night at College Football Playoffs the Clemson Tigers won the National Champion title against the Alabama Crimson Tide! Big congrats to the Clemson Tiger football team and our friends, the Tiger Dancers - you ladies look fierce AND fab in your customized Tami dresses!

Game Day is Finally Here!

The leaves are starting to turn, the morning is filled with crisp, cold air, and please add pumpkin flavor to EVERYTHING. For some people it just means that summer has come and gone, but for us and our customers it means GAME DAY (and autumn of course)! 

Football season is now underway for high schools and colleges, and seeing all of the gameday looks gives us all of the fuzzy fall feelings, so we decided to share some of our favorites we've seen around social!  Check out some of the best custom cheer uniforms from the  high school and college dance teams this 2016 football season!  Looking fabulous ladies (and men), as usual!

Go Huskies!

Out of Connecticut, the UConn Dance Team both supports their school as well as competes for their own glory!  At school, they rally the crowd at the University of Connecticut for the Huskie fans at football and basketball games.

On the dance competition floor, the team brings out their more technical side at the NDA National Championships. Most years, the team competes with two different routines, and in 2015 the team placed 5^th at the NDA College Nationals with an amazing hip hop routine!

Selecting the right costume is vital to a great performance. When your team looks great, they perform great! So where do you start?  With so many dance costumes to choose from, finding the right look can feel daunting! 

Don't stress though!  To help with the selection process, we’ve assembled a list of the top dancewear companies and categorized them by their specialties.  When narrowing down the list for your team, consider two key things to make the selection process easier:

• Be clear about what you are looking for and why. Example:  If you have a team that has special sizing needs, select a company that offers custom fitting services.
• Know the differences. No two dance costume companies are the same! Select companies that best meet your needs.
