Dance knee pads for floorwork and contemporary dance

Knees take a significant amount of impact in contemporary dance, acro and any choreography that involves slides, drops and floor sequences. Dance knee pads absorb that impact, protect the joint and allow dancers to rehearse and perform without holding back. Dance Direct stocks a specialist range of dance knee pads for contemporary, jazz, acro, musical theatre and any style that involves regular floorwork.

Protection, comfort and low profile design

Dance knee pads are designed differently from sport knee pads. They sit low profile against the knee so they can be worn under leggings, tights and costumes without showing through the fabric or restricting movement. The padding absorbs impact during slides and drops while the fitted design stays in place through the full range of contemporary and floorwork movement. Secure fastenings keep the pad positioned correctly over the kneecap without shifting during turns, leaps or floor sequences.

When knee pads make the difference

Any choreography that includes knee slides, drop sequences, floor rolls or extended kneeling benefits from knee pad protection. Dance knee pads allow dancers to commit fully to floorwork in rehearsal without the impact building up over the course of a session or a season. For dancers training intensively in contemporary, acro or musical theatre, knee pads are a practical necessity for joint health over a long training career.
