Every design starts in a dance bag.

Made by a dancer, for dancers.

DanceEssentialsUK started with a simple problem: the tote bags, bottles and tees at the studio all looked the same, and none of them looked like dance. Ella — a dancer herself — started sketching designs that actually belonged in a dance bag, then brought them to life one order at a time.

Every product on the shop begins as one of Ella's own drawings, so no two collections look like anything else on the racks at competition day.

The collection

Right now the shop is all apparel — t-shirts and layers carrying Ella's original designs. More categories are on the way as the collection grows.

Apparel

T-shirts and layers for after the last bow — soft, easy to move in, and worth wearing well past the final curtain. Every design starts as one of Ella's own drawings.
