Girls contemporary and lyrical costumes for competitions, concerts and performance
Contemporary and lyrical costumes for girls need to do something most other dance costumes do not. They need to move with the dancer rather than define a silhouette. The fabric flows, the cut allows full extension and floor work, and the colour and design reflect the emotion of the choreography. Dance Direct stocks a specialist collection of girls contemporary and lyrical costumes for competitions, concerts, solo routines and stage performances.
Contemporary dresses, lyrical skirts and performance styles
Contemporary dresses are typically fitted through the bodice with a flowing skirt or layered hem that moves freely through turns, lifts and floor sequences. Lyrical skirts add movement and visual texture over a leotard or shorts, popular for lyrical solos and group numbers where the fabric's flow is part of the performance. Performance tops and dance bottoms are used where a two-piece look suits the choreography or where a costume needs to be built around a specific colour brief. All styles are selected for fabric quality and construction that holds up through competition rounds and repeated performance seasons.
Fit, movement and competition presentation
Girls contemporary and lyrical costumes need to stay in place through floor sequences, extensions and lifts without riding up, shifting or restricting the dancer. Dance Direct selects for secure fastenings, fabric stretch and construction that keeps the costume where it is supposed to be through every moment of the routine. For sizing across all brands, refer to our clothing size guides.
