Women's Contemporary and Lyrical Costumes for Competitions, Concerts and Performance
Women's contemporary and lyrical costumes carry more weight than a girls competition costume — the choreography is more complex, the adjudicators look harder, and the costume needs to communicate the intent of the piece from the first eight counts. Dance Direct stocks a specialist collection of women's contemporary and lyrical costumes for competitions, concerts, solo routines and stage performances, selected for movement, expression and stage presentation.
Contemporary Dresses, Lyrical Skirts and Performance Styles
Contemporary dresses are fitted through the bodice with a hem or skirt that moves freely through the full range of contemporary technique — floor work, extensions, lifts and transitions. Lyrical skirts add visual flow over a leotard or shorts, used when the fabric's movement is part of how the choreography reads from the audience. Performance tops and dance bottoms suit two-piece constructions where the choreography calls for a specific look or where a costume needs to be built around a colour brief or theme. All styles are selected for construction that holds up through multiple competition rounds and repeated performance seasons.
Fit, Movement and Stage Presentation
Women's contemporary and lyrical costumes need to stay in place through the full technical demands of adult contemporary and lyrical choreography — floor sequences, développés, supported lifts and fast directional changes. Dance Direct selects for secure construction, fabric stretch and fastenings that keep the costume in position through every moment of the routine.
