IRISH DANCE COSTUMES
TEAM DRESSES AND SOLO DRESSES
There are two different types of competition costumes. A "team dress" (or "school dress") that is specific to your dance school and a "solo dress" that is unique to the individual dancer. Colors and designs are chosen to set you apart from other schools and dancers. The Cass-Barrington Academy colors are blue and orange, and the school costume design incorporates traditional Celtic knotwork taken from the Book of Kells, an ancient Irish manuscript of elaborate illustrations. School dresses are worn when dancers compete in team competitions.
Once a dancer reaches the higher levels, they are able to get a "solo dress". Dancers typically get to choose their own colors, designs and style of their solo dress where boys will typically wear dress pants with a dress shirt and tie, and sometimes will sport a vest or jacket.
