Classic Dance Leotard with Empire Velvet Band, Pro-Grade Fit - ZOE Black

Meet ZOE: a classic camisole silhouette with a quiet wow-factor, inspired by the lines of a kimono, an homage to Yumiko Takeshima’s parents, traditional kimono makers in Japan. Clean V-neck, sleek straps, and that signature colour-blocked empire waistband in plush velvet give you a timeless studio-to-stage look that reads refined from every angle.

Built for working dancers, the smooth nylon body hugs without squeezing so you can move big and stay streamlined at the barre, in rehearsal, and under lights. The velvet waistband visually sculpts the torso, drawing the eye to your épaulement and lengthening your line. It’s the reliable, elegant leotard you’ll reach for on show week and every day in between.
