BOOK

2015

From The

EDITOR A

round the DanceShopper office, we’ve long been of the opinion that the ballroom fashion industry just doesn’t have a truly great catalogue. There are scores of great designers and labels out there, but there hasn’t been ONE publication that covers them ALL with real style. Until now. Our entire team is immensely proud to present the latest edition of our Ballroom Book. It’s our most ambitious catalogue yet. Loaded with tips, articles, interviews, and more, the Spring/Summer 2015 Ballroom Book is not just a collection of product listings. It’s a celebration of ballroom fashion -- the catalogue you deserve.

In these pages, you’ll find the newest collections from your favorite labels. But we’ve also included an executive summary (pgs. blank-blank) for the hottest items and brands to join the DanceShopper family in recent months.

Plus, you can read about the inspiration behind Maly Design, what our customers have to say about Dance Naturals, and much more.

Honestly, we’re just getting started. It’s only getting better from here. Stay tuned.

Made For

DANCE After a few lessons, any beginning dancer will tell you the same thing: You can master every step, but if you don't feel confident about how you look and comfortable in your clothes, your dancing is going to suffer. For some of us, yoga pants and a tee don't cut it.

Our dancewear is designed specifically for the needs of dancers.

What are those needs? The three F's: Fashion, flexibility, and fabric.

You won't feel confident unless you're looking good. That's why labels like DSI London, Chrisanne, Victoria Blitz, and many more bring a high fashion sensibility to dancewear. With vibrant colors, careful detailing, and perfect fits, top ballroom designers are making dance collections that will withstand long studio hours, catch eyes at showcases, and also double as street wear.

It's hard to dance unless you have freedom of movement. Though designer practicewear may look as good as something off the department store racks, it's made with movement in mind.

Whether it's the Samba or the Tango, you'll be glad to be wearing something that will make those quick steps and long strides a little easier.

With unique stretch materials, our dancewear hugs your body and still allows you to move without restraint. You'll feel the movement.

When you're dancing the swing or the hustle, it can get pretty hot. Sweaty hot. Dancewear fabrics are designed to breathe, which keeps you cool and prevents you from soaking. Plus, these fabrics hardly wrinkle. Throw that rumba dress in a bag and change at the studio. Good as new.

Durable, stylish, and made for movement, designer dancewear will make you feel like dancing.
