Finding premium dancewear that balances beauty, quality and practicality can feel overwhelming, especially when you are shopping for a dancer who puts their costume through its paces every single week. At Total Dance, Australia's home of premium dancewear, we have carefully curated a collection of brands that meet the highest standards for performance and style. Elevé Dancewear is one of those brands, and for very good reason.
Whether you are a dance parent hunting for a standout leotard for eisteddfod season, or a dancer ready to upgrade your everyday training wardrobe, this guide walks you through exactly what is available, what makes each piece worth your investment, and how to order online with confidence. And yes, Total Dance offers free shipping across Australia, so the experience is as seamless as the garments themselves.
Why Elevé Dancewear Belongs in Every Dancer's Wardrobe
Elevé Dancewear has earned its reputation by doing the details exceptionally well. From the choice of fabrics to the thoughtfulness of each silhouette, every piece is designed with the performing dancer in mind. The brand blends a strong aesthetic sensibility with genuine technical consideration, meaning a leotard that looks beautiful on the hanger also moves beautifully on stage and in the studio.
If you are new to the brand and want a deeper look at how to match specific styles to your dance discipline, our Elevé Dancewear buying guide is a great place to start before you add anything to your cart. It covers everything from neckline shapes to fabric choices, helping you make a confident, informed decision.
What keeps dancers and dance families coming back to Elevé is consistency. The sizing is reliable, the construction holds up to repeated washing and wear, and the designs feel current without chasing fleeting trends. That is exactly the kind of quality Total Dance stands behind.

Our Elevé range spans velvet leotards, lace leotards and contemporary mesh pants, giving you genuine variety whether you are shopping for ballet, lyrical, contemporary or jazz. Below is a closer look at what is currently available and what makes each piece worth considering.
Velvet Leotards: Luxe Texture, Lasting Elegance
Velvet has a long and well-earned place in dancewear. It photographs beautifully under stage lighting, drapes with natural elegance and has a richness that elevates even a simple silhouette. Elevé's velvet pieces bring all of that to the studio and the stage.
The Eleve Allison Boat Neck Velvet Leotard - Black is a wardrobe essential. The classic boat neckline is flattering on a wide range of body shapes and the black velvet reads as polished and versatile under virtually every lighting condition. It is the kind of piece that works equally well as a training leotard and a performance base.
For something with a little more visual intrigue, the Allison Velvet Leotard - Classic Boat Neck with Wrap Back Panel - Lavender introduces a soft, romantic colour alongside an elegant wrap detail at the back. The lavender tone is particularly popular for lyrical and contemporary solos, where softer palettes complement the movement and mood of the choreography.
Lace Leotards: Delicate Detail with Performance Integrity
Lace leotards require a level of craftsmanship that not all dancewear brands get right. The lace needs to be secure enough for active movement, soft enough for extended wear, and visually refined enough to justify the price point. Elevé achieves this balance consistently.
The Lilli Wisteria Bella Lace Leotard is a standout. The wisteria colourway, a soft purple with floral undertones, pairs beautifully with the intricate lace detailing to create something that feels both special and wearable. This is a piece that suits lyrical and contemporary solos particularly well.
The Vinzant Peach Blossom Lace Leotard - Sweetheart Neckline takes a different approach with its sweetheart neckline, a shape that is both feminine and flattering and particularly popular for jazz and lyrical performance. The peach blossom colouring is warm and stage-friendly, catching the light in a way that reads beautifully from the audience.
If you want guidance on matching a lace leotard to your specific dance style, our comprehensive Elevé buying guide walks through how different necklines and fabric textures suit different genres and body types.
Mesh Pants: Contemporary Movement, Clean Lines
The contemporary and lyrical dance world has embraced mesh pants as a staple for both training and performance, and it is easy to understand why. A well-cut mesh pant adds flow and visual length to movement while remaining lightweight and breathable enough for active use.
The A-Line Mesh Pants - Black Wide Leg Contemporary Dance Pants are a brilliant example of this done right. The wide-leg silhouette creates beautiful lines in motion, and the black mesh reads as clean and modern on stage. Paired with any of the Elevé leotards above, they form a cohesive, performance-ready look that works across a range of contemporary choreography styles.
