Shades Dancewear is an independent, female-founded UK brand that encourages performers to embrace their ethnicity and retain their identity from the second they step into their first dance class.
We believe every dancer deserves to shine in their own skin, so we created a dancewear collection featuring four diverse and inclusive skin tone shades! Each shade is named in honour of a Global Majority pioneer of dance - Bojangles, Raven, Uday and Pearl - four beautifully diverse skin tone shades designed to truly match, celebrate, and empower you.
For too long, dancewear has been one-shade-fits-all. Not anymore. Shades is here to change the game - because representation matters! Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, Shades will help you feel confident, included and celebrated.
