Whether you’re stepping into your first class or preparing for a professional tour, Sway® ensures you look and feel your best.
Let’s dive into how this collection is redefining dance fashion in 2025.
Leotards: The Cornerstone of Every Dancer’s Wardrobe
No piece of dancewear is more iconic than the leotard — timeless, versatile, and endlessly adaptable. But in 2025, leotards have gone beyond being just “class attire.” They’ve become a canvas for personal style, with bold cuts, lace accents, and breathable mesh details that look as stunning in rehearsal as they do under stage lights.
• High Neck Halter Lace Ballet Leotard – For dancers who want elegance with airflow, this $35 lace-accented halter provides both drama and comfort.
• X-STRAP CAMISOLE MESH LEOTARD - WOMEN – Women’s dance leotard with camisole straps, stylish X-strap back, and breathable mesh panels—ideal for ballet, contemporary, and studio rehearsals.
• Circular Back Mesh Tank Leotard – At $35, mesh cutouts give this piece a modern, athletic edge perfect for hybrid dance-athleisure styling.
Today’s leotards are about more than uniformity — they’re about expressing individuality. A Sway® leotard doesn’t just fit your body; it matches your vibe.
Unitards: From Ballet Barre to Yoga Mat

Skirts, Dresses & Tutus: Elegance in Motion
If leotards are the foundation, skirts and dresses are the finishing touch that transforms movement into art. These flowing layers add texture and character to every performance.

Bottoms That Support Every Leap and Turn
In 2025, dance bottoms are no longer just “training clothes.” They’re crossover pieces that work for rehearsal, gym, and athleisure wear. Breathable mesh, flexible waistbands, and flattering silhouettes make them as fashionable as they are functional.

Warm-Ups & Layering: The Studio Essentials
Every dancer knows the ritual: warm-ups matter. Lightweight layering keeps muscles ready while adding dimension to your look.
• CROSSOVER SHRUG DANCE SWEATER WOMEN – Crossover shrug dance sweater for women, priced at US $22.00, features a stylish wrap design with soft, stretchy fabric for comfort and movement.

Shoes are where performance truly meets artistry — and Sway® delivers.
Accessories: The Unsung Heroes of Dancewear
Behind every flawless performance are the accessories that keep dancers comfortable and supported.

• Convertible Dance Tights ($15) adapt seamlessly from class to performance.
• Professional Fishnets ($35) remain essential for Latin and cabaret styles.
Though often overlooked, these finishing touches are what allow dancers to focus on artistry, not discomfort.
Dancewear Trends of 2025: What’s Changing?
What makes the Sway® 2025 Collection truly stand out is how it taps into larger cultural and fashion movements:
• Dancewear x Streetwear – Pieces like mesh-block leggings and crop tops blur the line between studio gear and street style.
