Essential dance basics are the foundation of every great dance wardrobe. These are the pieces your dancer will reach for again and again, class after class, season after season.
Designed and Made in Melbourne
Every piece in this collection is designed and made in Pink Lemon's own Melbourne factory. That means fit is tested by real dancers. Fabrics are chosen to move, stretch and wash without losing their shape. No surprises after the first spin cycle.
These basics work across ballet, jazz, contemporary and hip hop. They layer well, pack easily and hold up to a full week of training.
What's in the Collection
- Eden Dance Shorts. A go-to short that moves with your dancer and stays in place through every turn and jump.
- Amity Dance and Swim Crop Top. Takes your dancer from the studio to the pool without missing a beat.
- Ada Dance and Swim Briefs. Comfortable, secure and built for double duty in the studio and the water.
- Ayla Gym to Swim Reversible Switch Up Crop Top. Two looks in one. Flip it for a fresh style or a quick change.
- Dance Studio Basics Long Sleeve Crop Top. Moisture wicking fabric keeps dancers cool and comfortable through the whole class.
Why These Basics Work So Hard
- Made from fabrics that stretch in every direction and spring back into shape.
- Moisture wicking styles draw sweat away during long rehearsals.
- Versatile pieces that mix, match and layer across different styles.
- Durable construction built to handle frequent washing and year-round wear.
The Right Fit Every Time
Getting the fit right matters. Pink Lemon sizing is based on Australian dancewear conventions. Check the size guide before ordering if your dancer is between sizes. These pieces are cut to allow full movement, so a snug fit is the right fit.

FAQ – Pink Lemon Dancewear
How do I choose the right size?
Use the size chart on each product page and measure bust, waist, hips and girth (for leotards). Between sizes? Choose the larger size for comfort and growth.
Are your styles suitable for Australian studio dress codes?
Yes — our core colours and silhouettes are curated with teacher feedback. If your studio has a set uniform, please confirm colour and strap guidelines before purchasing.
What fabrics do you use?
We use premium performance blends (nylon/spandex, cotton blends and technical meshes) for stretch, breathability and shape retention — ideal for long studio sessions and rehearsals.
How should I care for my dancewear?
Cold gentle wash (preferably in a delicates bag) with mild detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners. Line dry in shade and avoid tumble drying or high heat to preserve elasticity and colour.
