Ballet Variations
At Free Movement Dance, we design and create competition-ready ballet costumes based on widely performed classical variations. Each costume is developed with careful consideration of the variation’s style, technical demands, and artistic intent — in alignment with the instructor’s vision and the dancer’s performance needs.
We work across solo and group competition pieces, youth and adult dancers, and both classical repertoire and competition adaptations.

Our Approach to Costume Design
We design with the variation first.
- Reflect the stylistic requirements of the choreography
- Align with the instructor’s artistic direction
- Support the dancer’s technique and confidence on stage
Working With Us
For best results, we recommend:
- Consulting your instructor on costume direction
- Sharing references, choreography, or music where possible
- Letting us guide design, silhouette, colour, construction, and fit
We also design costumes for male dancers across classical and competition repertoire, including Basilio (Don Quixote), Albrecht (Giselle), Bluebird, and prince roles such as Siegfried and Désiré.
