For the smoothest experience, we recommend contacting DSC around 16–18 weeks before you need your costumes. This allows time for design and sample production, sizing your dancers and producing your final bulk order.
We'll work with you to create your design before producing a sample costume where requested. Your team is then sized using our sizing sets, sizes are submitted through our online form, your invoice is issued for payment and your bulk costumes enter production.
We recommend allowing approximately 4–6 weeks for the design and sample production stages. Starting early gives us more time to perfect your design without rushing the process.
No. If you don't order a physical sample, we can produce one costume for photo approval before proceeding with the rest of your bulk order. Approval can be completed through WhatsApp, Messenger or your preferred contact method.
Small tweaks such as slight skirt-length or rhinestone adjustments can usually be made free of charge. Major design changes aren't included at this stage because the approval costume may need to be remade, in which case the remake becomes chargeable
A physical sample gives you the opportunity to see and check the fabrics, colours, shine, rhinestones, overall design and movement of the costume before your team's bulk order is produced. It's the option we recommend when your timescale allows.
We can send a DSC sizing set for your dancers to try on before ordering. We recommend allowing around 2 weeks for the sizing set to be shipped, tried on and your team's sizes confirmed, helping you achieve the best fit first time.
Once you've sized your dancers, submit the required sizes through our Costume Size Submission form. Once submitted, we'll use this information to prepare your bulk costume order and an invoice will follow for payment.
Once sizing is complete, your order is confirmed and payment has been made, we recommend allowing approximately 4–6 weeks for bulk production. This is separate from the initial design/sample and sizing stages.
We'll always endeavour to help keep your team looking fabulous, but shorter turnarounds cannot be guaranteed. Availability depends on factors including our design consultation spaces, production capacity, sizing-set availability and national holiday/factory closures. A shorter timescale may also mean losing the physical sample stage and using photo approval instead.
We create a completely bespoke Teamwear design around your team colours, logo and ideas. Once your range is approved, we can create your dedicated DSC Teamstore, allowing dancers and parents to order their team kit directly online.
No! Our DSC Teamstores have no minimum order quantities, so there's no need to wait for a large team order. Parents can order the items they need directly from their team's store.
We offer teams our full standard Teamwear range, giving dancers and parents plenty of choice. Your bespoke team design can be carried across your collection to create a coordinated look, with everything from training wear and jackets to bags and accessories available depending on the range.
No. Your team can have the full DSC range available without every product needing to be compulsory. Team leaders can decide which items, if any, are required team kit, while parents can choose any additional products they'd like from the Teamstore.
Absolutely. That's what makes DSC Teamwear bespoke to your team. We'll work with your colours, branding and ideas to create a coordinated look that can be carried throughout your Teamwear collection.
Personalisation is available on selected Teamwear products, allowing dancers to add their name where the product offers this option. Any available personalisation choices will be shown when ordering through your Teamstore.
Yes! Rhinestone upgrades can be used to give selected Teamwear extra sparkle and impact. Custom rhinestone designs may require an initial setup/design cost, with additional costs depending on the design, placement and garments selected.
Our bespoke Teamwear is made to order, so production timescales apply. Always check our current Production Timescales before ordering, particularly if you need your kit for a competition, championship, presentation night, Christmas or another specific date - our standard timescale is 4/6 weeks however this can vary during busy periods
Potentially, yes. We're always happy to discuss additional bespoke ideas. Products outside our standard range may involve additional development, sourcing, sampling, setup costs or supplier minimum quantities, depending on what's being requested.
Wash Teamwear at 20°C, wash similar colours together and do not use fabric conditioner, bleach or whitening products. Do not tumble dry. Rhinestoned Teamwear should also be turned inside out before washing to help protect the rhinestones from contact with the washing-machine drum.
No! Our Gift Shop products are available for anyone to order. You don't need to belong to one of our Teamwear teams to shop with Dance Supply Centre.
Many of our products can be personalised with options such as a dancer's name or other available personalisation. Where personalisation is available, you'll see the options on the product page before adding the item to your basket.
Please contact us as soon as possible if you've made a mistake. Once a personalised item has entered production, we may be unable to change it, so always double-check spelling and details before completing your order.
Measure from the inside of the dancer's armpit to the very tip of their middle finger with their arm extended out to the side. The measurement in inches gives you the recommended baton length.
Not necessarily! Baton ends can become worn, cracked or flattened through regular use. We sell replacement baton ends, allowing you to replace the ends rather than purchasing a completely new baton where the shaft is still suitable.
We offer a range of payment methods at checkout, including Klarna and Shop Pay instalment options where available. Any pay-later or instalment option is subject to eligibility and acceptance by the relevant payment provider/lender, not Dance Supply Centre.
Timescales can vary depending on the product and whether it is stocked, made to order or personalised. Please check the information shown on the relevant product page and our current production/delivery information when ordering.
Where collection is offered at checkout, you can select the available collection option instead of home delivery. Please wait until your order is confirmed as ready before attempting to collect it.
Team branding is available on selected products and bespoke/team orders. If you can't see the option you need on the product page, contact DSC before ordering and we'll advise whether your request is possible.
Personalised and made-to-order products are created specifically for you, so they may not be eligible for standard change-of-mind returns or exchanges. Check our current returns policy before ordering and contact us if there is a problem with an item you've received.
