Customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do and everything we provide for the dance community and industry. We understand that the dance community is diverse, and so are its needs. Particularly over these last few months, as we’ve introduced new Ballet shoe sizes and rebranded our popular shade Uday, we’ve listened carefully to customer feedback, suggestions, and concerns. We’ve actioned your valuable insight to continuously improve our products and services, and will continue to do so moving forwards.
Shades Dancewear are pleased to match free shipping offers and discounts to the likes of well-known and established dancewear brand leaders such as Capezio and Bloch.
One of the most frequent requests we’ve received from our customers is for more affordable shipping options.

Our latest campaign, “Pearl is the New Pink,” also reflects Shades Dancewear’s dedication to promoting inclusivity and adaptability within the dance industry and community. This campaign aims to challenge traditional norms in dancewear, apparent across dance classes, colleges and universities worldwide, and celebrate the diversity of dancers everywhere. Shades Dancewear are becoming the go-to destination for all your dancewear needs – join our #IGOTMYSHADE campaign and become an influential part of our Shades Dancewear community!
The dance industry has long been associated with traditional norms and standards, and times are slowly changing. We are proud to be a driving force in this transformation with our “Pearl is the New Pink” campaign. This initiative is more than just a new colour trend; it’s a movement that represents our commitment to inclusivity, adaptability, and breaking down barriers.
Challenging Traditional Norms
For years, Ballet pink has been the quintessential colour of Ballet dancewear. While the classic Ballet pink is a choice of colour that everyone is welcome to choose, it’s important to recognise that the dance community is wonderfully diverse, and so should be the dancewear colour options.
Dancers come from all backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life, each bringing their own unique style and flair to the creative art form. The “Pearl is the New Pink” campaign symbolises this diversity and the evolving nature of the dance industry. By introducing the shade Pearl, we are celebrating the beauty of every dancer’s individuality and encouraging every dance to embrace their natural skin colour tone through their choice of dancewear.
Promoting Inclusivity
Inclusivity is at the core of every decision made within and for Shades Dancewear. We believe that dancewear should be accessible and representative of everyone. The “Pearl is the New Pink” campaign is our way of challenging typical dancewear and dance attitude norms, making a bold statement that dancewear can be both traditional and modern, catering to all dancers. Dancers can be any gender, body type, background or skin colour: we should all feel welcome in the dance community and industry.
Dance is a universal language and Shades Dancewear is dedicated to ensuring that every dancer feels seen, valued, and celebrated.
Adapting to Changing Mindsets
The dance industry is evolving, and so should be the mindsets within it. There’s a growing recognition of the need for more adaptable and inclusive practices, from teaching methods to performance opportunities. Shades Dancewear are committed to being part of this positive change. Our products are designed with flexibility and comfort in mind, allowing dancers to move freely and expressively in their perfectly matched skin tone shade.
By offering a range of styles and sizes, we aim to break down the barriers that have traditionally excluded Global Majority people from fully participating in dance. Our “Pearl is the New Pink” campaign is a testament to our belief that every dancer deserves to feel confident and empowered in their dancewear.
