A dance team jacket gets worn more than any costume: in the hotel lobby at nationals, over the costume between numbers, and in the awards photo. Crystallized Couture makes custom dance team jackets for competitive studios, school pom and dance teams, and drill teams, with the studio logo set in rhinestones, glitter or sequins and each dancer’s name or nickname on the jacket.
Every jacket is made to order and shipped nationwide. Our design team creates every rhinestone layout, and Nicolette, the owner, is involved in every order from the first sketch to the final approval.
Who These Jackets Are For
- Competitive dance studios outfitting a competition team, often with matching jackets for teachers and parents.
- School dance, pom and drill teams that want one jacket for games, competitions and team events.
- Studio owners replacing an older jacket who want to redesign the logo in stones and add every dancer’s name.
They are not the right fit if you need one jacket for a single dancer by next week, or if you want a stock jacket with no custom work. Every jacket is produced only after you approve its design.
Jacket Styles Dance Teams Order
Full-zip warm-up jackets
The most common choice for studios. A full-zip jacket layers over costumes and leaves the whole back panel open for a large rhinestone logo. Styles on the site include the Augusta Medalist, Boxercraft Studio, Chassé Performance VIP, Holloway Limitless, Zoe Voyager, GK Unisex Color Block, Metallic Crossover and Free Form jackets.
Dance varsity and bomber-style jackets
For a school-spirit or letterman look. The Storm Elite Youth Bomber Jacket is one example, and color-block styles suit teams with two strong colors to split between body and sleeves.
Cropped and fitted cuts
Some teams prefer a shorter, fitted silhouette for older dancers. Ask Nicolette which brands offer a cropped cut in your size range before you pick a style.
Rhinestone, Glitter and Sequin Options
- Rhinestone logo art on the back panel, placed by machine from a custom layout our designers build from your studio logo.
- Glitter lettering for names, team names or level names.
- Sequin accents for trims or small details.
- Embroidery on the chest or sleeve when a program wants a quieter front.
Costume-grade rhinestones are standard. Genuine crystal upgrades are available if your studio wants them; ask when you request a quote. You choose the stone colors, logo placement and lettering, and nothing is produced until you approve the full design.
Names Included at No Extra Charge
Every dancer’s name or nickname is included on dance team jackets. Studios can place the name on the upper back or a sleeve and add a level or team name as a second line.
Dance Team Jacket Pricing
Jacket pricing depends on the brand, the decoration and the size of the design, and it typically runs well below the large national dance decorating companies. Matching jacket-and-pant suits for dance start at $99; see custom team warm-ups for the full sets. Orders of 15 or more units receive team pricing. Final cost depends on the brand, stone coverage and crystal grade, and Nicolette quotes each design before production.
Studios That Wear Crystallized Couture Jackets
Jackets made for studios include the Elite Academy of Dance Jacket, the Devonshire Dance Competition Team Jacket (men’s and youth sizes), The 8th Count Competition Team Jacket, the Holy City Dance Center Jacket, the Soul Steppin’ Studio Bling Jacket, SKDF Bling Jackets for Studio K Dance Force, and the Turning Pointe custom rhinestone and sublimated studio jacket. Drill teams order them too, such as the Eagle Grove Drill Team Bling Jacket. See more on Our Work.
After her first year ordering dance competition team jackets through Nicolette, Meghan Kohler wrote: “The students, teachers, and parents love the new jackets and we can’t wait to wear them this year at our competitions.” More are on the reviews page.
How Ordering Works
- Send your logo and roster. Call Nicolette at 816-918-3436 or email nicolette@crystallizedcouture.com with your logo, colors and headcount.
- Approve the design. You see the stone colors, logo placement and lettering before anything is made.
- Try sample sizes. Sample sizes can be shipped so dancers try them on before the order is finalized. Sizing mistakes after production aren’t covered, so this step saves real money.
- Production and delivery. Custom warm-up jackets typically take 4–6 weeks from design approval. For competition season, order by early fall.
If a stone comes off after delivery, send the jacket back and it will be fixed free, per the return policy. For everything else your dancers wear, from rehearsal tops to parent shirts, start at the dance team apparel hub.
Dance Jacket Questions
Can boys and girls on the same team get matching jackets?
Yes. Devonshire Dance ordered its competition team jacket in men’s and youth sizes so the whole team matches.
Can we reuse our studio logo from a previous order?
Yes. Send the logo file or a photo of your current jacket. Nicolette rebuilds it as a rhinestone layout, and you approve it before production.
What if our jackets need to arrive before a specific competition?
Tell Nicolette the date when you request a quote. Rush options are available before competition season; ask about them when you order.
