The evolution of leotards

Believe it or not, leotards were first designed for male dancers, with kids and women’s leotards being a rarity. Whilst men’s leotards came to exist in the 1870s, it wasn’t until the 1950s that women’s leotards were more accessible. What’s even more different to modern day leotards is that the first dance leotard came strictly in black. Nowadays the combination of leotard colours and patterns you can find is of no shortage.

It’s safe to say that in the 150 odd years that dance leotards have existed, their design, pattern and entire composition has drastically evolved.

Why should I wear dance leotards?

Ever wondered why so many dancers opt for dance, or ballet leotards? This is majorly due to the degree of flexibility and freedom of movement they provide. A bodysuit-esque design ensures that you feel secure no matter what turn, twist or jump you are doing. For added coverage, many dancers pair their leotard with dance tops and dancewear pants.

A not so obvious benefit of dance leotards is that they prevent injury, in allowing instructors to quickly spot if a dancer’s position and posture is aligned. As a go-to provider of Australian dancewear, we believe that dance is a form of art. Ballet leotards reveal the complexity of the techniques and movement that is intrinsic to dance, and as a result allow audiences to truly take in the artform.

Which type of leotard is best for me?

With leotards now available in a range of styles, cuts, materials and sizes, it is important to choose one that best fits your needs. Key features to look out for are comfort, functionality, and for performance purposes, aesthetic.

To make your leotard performance-ready, you may choose to wear a dancewear skirt on top for added stylistic flair.

If breathability is a concern, you may opt for leotards made with specific performance fabric that are sweat wicking. Try our Freya Camisole made with ProForm™ fabric for cooling and drying effect.

Ultimately, finding the right leotard for you takes experimentation and trialling different patterns, materials and cuts. On your search for the perfect dance leotard, make sure you feel confident in what you’re wearing, keeping comfort and functionality in mind.
