Essential dance basics are the foundation of every great dance wardrobe. These are the pieces your dancer will reach for class after class, season after season.
Built for Real Dance Classes
Every item in this collection is designed and made in Pink Lemon's own Melbourne factory. That means the fit is tested by real dancers, and the fabrics are chosen to move, stretch and wash without losing their shape.
These basics work across ballet, jazz, contemporary and hip hop. They layer well, pack easily and hold up to a full week of training.

How to Build a Smart Dance Wardrobe
Start with two or three basics and rotate them through the week. A crop top, a pair of dance shorts and a warm up layer cover most class requirements. Add pieces as your dancer grows into her training schedule.
If you're unsure on sizing, check the Pink Lemon size guide. AU sizing is used throughout the range and the fit is consistent across styles.

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.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Absolutely — we offer fast, trackable shipping across Australia. For delivery timeframes and costs, see our Shipping Information.
What is your returns and exchanges policy?
If your item isn’t quite right, you can request a return or exchange according to our policy. Please review details on our Returns & Exchanges page.
