Undergarments - 

In terms of undergarments, it is mandatory for your dancer to wear nude/skin toned underwear underneath their costumes. If you have a preferred pair, you are welcome to wear this so long as it is nude/skin toned. It is best to purchase 2 pairs so that you have extras. When wearing tights, dancers do not need to wear underwear.

UNDERWEAR : 

• You are welcome to look elsewhere, so long as it is within the skin tone guidelines.

CHILD SIZES :

So Danca (buy 2)

Option 2 (buy 2)

ADULT SIZES : thongs are allowed for dancers who are comfortable wearing them.

So Danca

Gap  (multiple skin tones)

Thong underwear (optional)

Full underwear (multiple skin tones, recommended to have two pairs)

BRAS : 

This is hard for some dancers when they first need to wear one, as they tend to stick out of the costumes. You can choose to wear a dance bra, sticky bra or pasties. Dance bras aren’t amazing, but they work - especially for dancers who are newer to wearing them. 

If you want to purchase your own, please note it NEEDS to be nude with clear/no straps. After purchasing, you will need to sew the straps onto the bra to avoid them coming apart. Dancers are also welcome to use a sticky bra/pasties if they are comfortable.
