Wear for modern and contemporary dance, supple and free in movement.

Modern and contemporary dance ask for clothing that shows the line of the body and still leaves it free. Think of supple outfits, trousers and tops that follow the movement and do not shift during floor work. Fabrics are chosen for stretch and recovery, so a costume still sits the way it should after a block of rehearsals.

Veelgestelde vragen

Can I come and try things on first?

Yes. Maillots Pavlova has shops in Bruges and Schoten where you can try things on and be measured. That is the safest way to choose, because sizes run differently per model and per brand. You can save your favourites in a list on the webshop and bring that list along or send it ahead, so everything is ready when you arrive.

How does modern dance wear differ from ballet wear?

Modern and contemporary dance work a lot on the floor, so the clothing has to cover more and take friction. The cuts are looser around the shoulder and the hip, and the fabric is chosen for stretch and recovery. A leotard works, but it is often combined with trousers or a top.
