Shades Dancewear is an inclusive dancewear brand that allows dancers of all skin tones to embrace their ethnicity and retain their identity from the minute they step into their first dance class.

We are also proud to be the only UK dancewear brand to provide four shades of skin tone in all of our products and the first in the world to offer male dance support belts in matching shades too.
