Whether you’re a dance student who’s looking for a new dance outfit for yourself, or an instructor who’s looking for ideas for costumes for the class, taking a look at current trends can be a great way to get inspired. Looking at modern trends can help you to choose a new and updated look.

While dance costume trends vary depending on the type of dance, there are a few predominant trends that are lining up to be popular for 2015. We expect to see bright and vibrant colors and patterns take center stage in the coming year, with a healthy dose of sequins thrown in!

Read on to discover some of our picks for dance costume trends for 2015.

Fiery Colors

Fiery hot color schemes are making an appearance in dance costumes and these colors are expected to continue strong into 2015. Reds, oranges, yellows, and black are showing up in everything from accent colors to entire costumes that are designed in these bright, fiery colors.

The 60’s Reinvented

It may be 2015, but the 60’s are making reappearance. Our picks for 2015 include bold colors and patterns, and dance outfits that take their inspiration directly from the 60’s. These dance costumes are especially suited for tap dance or jazz recitals.

Metallic

Metallic dance costumes are gaining popularity, and are expected to be trending well into 2015. And it’s not just the silver metallic color that’s popular: metallic blue, pink, black, yellow, red, and just about any other color you can think of is now available. Whether combined with nonmetallic pieces, or paired up together, metallic tops, leggings, skirts, and more are expected to be on trend in 2015.

High Drama

High drama is the order of business these days, and when it comes to dance –it’s certainly no exception. Look for dramatic details, bright show stopping colors, and bold vibrant patterns and dance outfits in a number of eye catching designs. Dramatic dance costumes based off of different themes are also starting to come to life.

Sequin and Sparkles

Some may argue that sequins and sparkles are never truly out of style, but these elements are expected to be going strong into 2015. Sequin dance outfits are available, or accessorize with sparkly gloves and shoes. Even a touch of sparkle can help any dance costume to stand out. Mix and match sparkles and sequins with other dance trends for an on-trend dance outfit for 2015.

Biketards

Biketards are fast growing in popularity throughout the dance world. The coverage they provide gives confidence, and the absolutely limitless variety of colors and patterns makes biketards a popular silhouette that’s here to stay for a while. Available as skirted or partially skirted options, these are especially popular for lyrical performances.

Ombre

Dip died ombre clothes are coming into vogue, and now ombre is starting to make its way into dance costumes as well. When combined with sequins or sparkles, the ombre look is especially stunning. We expect this trend to really take off in 2015.

So there you have it. Six popular trends that we expect to see a lot more of into 2015. And if you don’t want to go all out with any of these trends, don’t worry. Many of these options are available as both dramatic styles or as scaled back options that are simply inspired by the trend. If you’re hoping to keep on trend this new year, hopefully these ideas will inspire you to find something fun and unique!
