Side by Side

Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way

$2K to $5K

Bulk-Order Gamble

Inventory from past orders still in your office
XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
Pieces go missing. You give the rest away

Your Pro Shop

$0 UPFRONT

No Inventory Ever

Member orders one, we print one
Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin

Old Way

3 WEEKS

To Reorder Anything

24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
Charged per color, per placement, per design
Sold out of sizes or colors dancers want
Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks

Your Pro Shop

~1 WEEK

Door to Door

No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
Unlimited colors, designs, placements
Dancers pick size and color at checkout
USA printed and shipped free to their door

Old Way

2 WASHES

Until It's Cardboard

Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
Dancers stop wearing it
You and your instructors reach for other brands

Your Pro Shop

50+ WASHES

Still Soft

Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
Your members reach for the studio hoodie, not the other brand

Why It Works

Curated for your dancers. Zero guesswork.

We pick the season's best. You focus on what you do best.

Studio Owner Reviews

Hear from studio owners and dance instructors running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the studioes already running their apparel through us.

Mike R.

Studio Owner · 75 dancers

Q: DO THE HOODIES AND SWEATPANTS HOLD UP THROUGH COMP SEASON?

"Comp season means warm-up hoodies and joggers worn over leotards from October to June. The local print shop stuff pilled after three washes. Premium Champion and Independent Trading Co. hoodies hold the studio logo through every comp weekend, hotel washing machine and post-comp pizza spill. Dancers wear them to school on Mondays. Free brand exposure all year."

Jenna T.

Artistic Director · 182 dancers

Q: WHAT IF A DANCER NEEDS A DIFFERENT SIZE BEFORE A COMP?

"Used to bulk-order 80 hoodies in mediums and larges for the comp team. Always wrong size for the mini who actually wanted one or the senior in a small. Now every dance family picks size at checkout. Mini in 6/7, senior in adult medium, dance mom in a women's small. Studio apparel ships free to their door before the next comp."

Ryan K.

Studio Director · 330 dancers

Q: I OWN THE STUDIO AND TEACH 20 HOURS A WEEK. WHO BUILDS THE STORE?

"Teaching 20 hours a week, running the studio, choreographing comp routines. Never going to find an hour to upload designs and write product pages. Done-For-You plan ran the whole dance studio merch shop. Comp team hoodies, recital tees, mini dancer collection, dance moms section. I sent the studio logo once. Parents thought I hired a brand agency for the season rollout."

Studio Owner & Instructor Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can I put our dance studio logo, season art and competition team wordmarks on custom dance studio apparel?+

Yes. Every tee, hoodie, sweatshirt, jogger, crewneck and embroidered hat supports your dance studio logo, season art, comp team wordmark or recital theme on the front, back, sleeve or chest. Add dancer names, anniversary years, "established" callouts, comp team rosters. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee. Build a real dance studio merch line, not a generic print job.

Do you make leotards, unitards, tights, ballet slippers or jazz shoes?+

No. Leotards, unitards, tights, ballet slippers, jazz shoes and convertible tights are specialty dancewear you buy from a dance supply vendor. What we do best: dance studio spirit wear and lifestyle apparel. Dance studio t shirts, dance studio hoodies, branded sweatpants, joggers, crewnecks, embroidered hats. The stuff dancers wear to class, the studio lobby, the comp hotel and back to school.

Do you have youth sizes for mini dancers, junior dancers and senior comp team?+

Yes. Most apparel runs from toddler through adult 3XL. Build a Mini, Junior, Senior, Comp Team, Parent and Staff collection alongside the main studio shop. Parents pick their dancer's size and color at checkout, gear ships to their door free. Same retail logic, you set the markup per item across every age group.

Can parents and dancers order their own dance studio apparel without me being middleman?+

That's the whole point. Drop your shop link in the studio parent portal, the comp team group chat, the recital email, your IG bio. Parents and dancers check out themselves with their size and color. Dance studio apparel ships to their door free in about a week. You never collect cash at the front desk, count sizes after class, or hand out shirts in the lobby.

Can I run comp team apparel, recital tees, season merch and dance studio staff shirts in one shop?+

Yes. Your shop is one branded studio URL, organized into sections: Comp Team, Recreational, Mini Dancers, Senior Company, Dance Moms, Studio Staff, Alumni. Drop new season art every fall, new recital art every spring, comp-weekend apparel for every event. Same dashboard, every collection under your studio brand.

We already use Custom Ink or Revolution Dancewear for studio merch. Why switch?+

Three reasons most studio owners switch within a month. Shipping: theirs charges $8 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per design. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors. Permanence: theirs is one-and-done bulk orders. Ours is a permanent dance studio apparel shop at your URL, ready for the next season, the next recital, the next comp weekend.

Do I pay anything when a parent orders? Is there a contract?+

Zero cost when a parent orders. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit per item lands directly in your dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. No contracts. Cancel anytime. Most studios start free, sell their first dozen pieces to comp families, then upgrade to Self-Service VIP for lower base prices and bigger profit per shirt.
