high-performance dance wear fabrics that keep
up with the most rigorous of schedules. Without
the proper fabric to warm and strengthen
muscles, dancers can sustain serious injuries.

selecting the right fabrics is extremely important
for both the health of the dancer and the quality
of the performance.
The following are recommendations for suitable
dance wear fabrics to match a variety of needs:
• Warm-up and casual dance wear fabrics: polar
fleece, silk/cotton blend and cotton jersey.
• Movement dance wear fabrics: silk knit jersey,
nylon and polyester spandex, nylon powermesh,
and polyester stretch velvet.
• Costume and Performance fabrics: polyester
tulle, nylon and polyester spandex, nylon
powermesh, polyester stretch velvet, polyester
