Dance Shorts - Buy Quality Dance Shorts Australia Wide

Start with shorts that match the class, the choreography, and how much coverage you want while you move. Studio 7 Dancewear has fitted hot shorts, relaxed rehearsal styles, sequin shorts, printed options, mesh details, and high-waisted cuts, so you can choose a pair for weekly training, troupe work, or stage looks without using the same style for every routine. Some pairs keep the line close through the hips and legs, while others feel easier over crops, leotards, or team tops.

FAQs about Dance Shorts

What kind of shorts are best for jazz and commercial dance?

For jazz and commercial, look for a firm but comfortable fit through the waist and hips. You need enough stretch for high kicks, splits, lunges, and fast changes in direction. Dance shorts with a smooth waistband also work well under oversized tees, mesh tops, or matching crop sets.

Are fitted shorts better than loose shorts for class?

It depends on the class and your studio rules. Fitted shorts make it easier for teachers to see leg lines, hip placement, and turnout, which can be useful in jazz, acro, and technique classes. Looser shorts are better for warm-ups, rehearsals, and days when you want more coverage over a fitted base.

When should I choose sequin or printed shorts?

Choose sequins or prints when the routine needs more colour, sparkle, or personality. They work well for troupe numbers, concert pieces, photos, and performances where a plain black pair may feel too simple. For everyday class, plain dance shorts are usually easier to mix with different tops and studio colours.

What rise should I choose for dance shorts?

High-waisted shorts can feel more secure because they sit higher on the body and pair neatly with crops. Mid-rise styles can feel more relaxed, especially for dancers who do not like fabric sitting too high on the waist. Check how the waistband feels when you bend, stretch, and lift your legs.

How do I choose shorts for a team or group routine?

Start with the colour, then check the size range, waistband, and leg length. For groups, dance shorts should look consistent across different ages and body shapes, not just on one dancer. If the top is detailed, keep the shorts simple. If the top is plain, a print or sequin style can add more interest.
