Shades Dancewear are thrilled to unveil our brand-new Signature Shade, ‘Uday.’ You may have already seen our Instagram announcement – so be sure to follow @shadesdancewear for the latest news!
The Uday shade is named in honour of the legendary Indian classical dancer and choreographer, Uday Shankar. Our Uday shade embodies the vibrancy and grace that he brought to the world of dance and helps educate dancers in training about the diverse history of dance. Uday Shankar’s legacy of integrating Indian cultural elements with Western techniques has revolutionized the dance world, and we are extremely proud to celebrate his influence through our latest rebrand of the former shade Ailey.

With ‘Uday’, we aim to highlight the contributions of forgotten dance legends and ensure their legacies live on in the fabric of skin tone dancewear.
