Dance School Costume Hire · Lancashire

Dance school costume hire — recitals, festivals, end-of-year shows.

Costume packages for ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, hip-hop and themed dance numbers — supplied to dance schools and academies across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast, Preston, Lancaster and wider Lancashire. Sized for every dancer, ready for recital week.

Group Sizing

From under-5s to adult companies. Sized in batches for full-group numbers, no last-minute swaps.

Theme Matching

Tell us the routine’s music or theme — we’ll suggest colour palettes and silhouettes that fit.

Damage-Tolerant

Built for active dancers. Reinforced seams, replaceable elastics. Normal wear & tear’s on us.

Recital Rates

Per-routine packages, not per-dancer. Far cheaper than buying for a single performance.

“Your dancers turn up to rehearsal, we turn up with the wardrobe. One delivery, one return, every routine accounted for.”

Dance Styles We Costume

Every style. Every age group.

Don’t see your style? Ask — if your school dances it, we’ll have it covered.

Ballet

Classical tutus, romantic skirts, character pieces, leotards, soft shoes — junior to advanced.

Jazz & Lyrical

Sequin tops, fringe skirts, character jackets, lyrical dresses — bold for stage lights.

Tap

Vintage waistcoats, top hats & tails, bowties, suspenders — old-school showstopper finish.

Contemporary

Flowing silks, neutrals, mood-driven palettes, draped jersey — designed to move with the dancer.

Hip-Hop & Street

Streetwear, oversized tees, bomber jackets, baggy joggers, snapbacks — sized for movement.

Show & Musical Theatre

Character costumes for medleys — tied to specific shows, eras or decades. Full crossover with our musical hire.

Themed Recital Numbers

Fairytale, decades, animals, seasonal, story-led — we’ll match every dancer to the routine’s theme.

+ More Styles

Acro. Latin & ballroom. Irish. Bollywood. Cheer. Tell us your routine list and we’ll quote per-number.

FAQs · Dance School Costume Hire

What principals and choreographers ask first

When should we book costumes for our recital?

Twelve weeks out is comfortable, eight weeks is tight but workable, anything inside four weeks comes down to stock availability. Send us your show date as soon as you’ve confirmed your venue.

Do you include shoes and accessories?

Accessories like hats, gloves, capes, props and stage jewellery are included where the look needs them. Dance shoes — character, jazz, tap, soft ballet — can be added per dancer at cost, but most schools prefer dancers wear their own.

How do you handle dancers who grow between fitting and recital?

A quick refit week of show is the safety net — we hold sizes either side per dancer. For junior groups we build in extra adjust-room from the start. No school has ever had a dancer left without a costume.

Can we hire for a single routine or competition piece?

Yes — festival groups, regionals and single competition pieces are all fine. Shorter rentals are priced accordingly. We can hold the costume between heats and the final if you let us know dates.

What happens if a costume tears mid-recital?

All hires include a small repair kit — safety pins, spare elastics, double-sided tape, basic thread — for backstage fixes. Genuine damage is rare and usually within normal wear-and-tear which is on us.

Which Lancashire dance schools do you supply?

Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, Poulton-le-Fylde, Cleveleys, Fleetwood, Preston, Lancaster, Garstang, Kirkham, Morecambe — and across the North West. Courier delivery available UK-wide for festivals further afield.
