Dance underwear is designed for comfort and minimal visibility under leotards and costumes. Dance belts are minimal undergarments for men, while thongs and briefs are popular for women and men. Matching bra sets and underwear are also available for women.
Dance underwear is an undergarment designed for dancers to wear under leotards and costumes. The underwear is available in different coverages for men and women. Although everything is done to minimize the appearance of lines under dancewear, smaller pieces of undergarment tend to show less through costumes and leotards. The dance underwear is sewn from a skin-tight, form-fitting stretch fabric to provide dancers with a smooth look under dancewear, but also comfort and ease of movement.
For dancers, a minimal undergarment is called a dance belt. Cut high on the thighs to allow maximum leg movement and help prevent injury. However, while a dance belt is open in the back and fits snugly in the front, it also minimizes details of a dancer’s anatomy so it’s less distracting to the audience. Belt-style dance underwear has a thicker mid-back strap than regular thong underwear. The waistband of this dance thong underwear is also much thicker than non-dance underwear.
Dance thong underwear is also available in women’s versions. Dancers may wear thong underwear under tights to avoid visible lines. Of course, thong dance underwear is not worn under skirts, as too much skin will be shown. Short and brief styles for ballerinas offer the next level of minimal coverage after thongs. Both offer adequate coverage to wear under skirted dance costumes. Boys’ underwear for dancers ends just above the thighs and tends not to ride up as high as briefs.
Briefs in men’s and women’s styles are cut to give more movement in the thigh than boys’ underwear briefs. Briefs are popular dance undergarments for male and female dancers as they offer comfort without showing lines under leotards or costumes. Sometimes dancers wear boxer briefs under their pants. Dance pants are often looser, like some costumes, rather than tight like leotards. The boxer brief dance underwear is more streamlined than boxers that look more like shorts, but the results will often show under more form-fitting dance pants.
Women’s underwear designed for dance includes matching bra sets and underwear. Usually these are briefs and a seamless bra. Like other dance undergarments, they are designed for comfort and movement. The women’s bra and dance brief underwear are also sold separately so dancers can mix and match the pieces as needed.
