Custom Dance Team Apparel: A Coach's Guide to Easy Teamwear
Between choreography, practices, and parent emails, the last thing a dance coach needs is a complicated apparel order. Here's how to get custom dance team apparel — warmups, tees, hoodies, and practice wear — done right and on time at The Teehive, where everything is decorated in-house since 2009.
Start with the design
You don't need to be a designer. Bring your idea, your team colors, or a logo and our in-house art team builds your design and sends a proof so you see exactly how it looks before anything prints. Want a head start? Browse design templates or design your own.
Pick the right products
Most dance teams mix a few pieces: soft tees and hoodies for practice and travel, warmup jackets for competition, and all-over sublimated leggings or uniforms for a fully custom look. See custom dance team apparel and cheer & dance gear for ideas.
Nail sizing without the chaos
Measuring a whole studio can feel like a waltz with chaos. We offer sizing kits and sample garments so every dancer — from your tiniest tots to your seniors — gets the right fit before you order. Adult and youth sizes mean the whole team matches.
Plan your timeline
Give yourself room before your first competition or recital. Screen-printed and DTF orders take about 2+ weeks after you approve your proof; embroidered and sublimated apparel about 3+ weeks. Rush service is available if a deadline sneaks up.
Add names, numbers, and team colors
We match your studio colors and can add dancer names, numbers, and your team logo across the order — popular for warmups and travel gear.
Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for dance team apparel?
Screen printing starts at 12 pieces per design, embroidery at 6 per logo, and DTF has no strict minimum. Cut-and-sew sublimation (for all-over leggings and uniforms) has its own minimum — ask your rep.
Can you match our studio colors and add dancer names?
Yes. We match your team colors and add individual names, numbers, and your logo across the whole order.
How far ahead should we order for competition season?
Plan about 2+ weeks for printed apparel and 3+ weeks for embroidered or sublimated pieces after proof approval. Rush options are available, but earlier is safer during peak season.
