The struggle to find tights, pointe shoes, and leotards in colors for brown skin can be discouraging. This can cause a sense of not belonging, insecurity, and lack of confidence in any brown and black dancer.
In recent years, there has been an increased focus on promoting diversity and inclusivity in the dance industry. Traditionally, people have used the term "nude" to describe a light beige color, which can exclude those of us with darker skin tones. We here at My Nude Shade already know that beige isn't "nude" for everyone.
We believe in promoting inclusivity and accommodating a range of skin tones. We also believe that you should easily find your skin tone products. Mariia Dancewear offers leotards, tights, shoes, and more for performers to always carry in their bags.
My Nude Shade has Mariia True Bare Collection and Blendz Dance Apparel for dancers and performers. Every dancer deserves a range of clothing and products that match their skin tone.
Mariia Dancewear makes leotards, tights, shoes, and other items that performers should have in their bags. Wearing skin-matching dancewear can help any dancer feel confident. They'll have a sense of belonging. It also creates a streamlined and cohesive look on stage.
The colors may differ may vary based on screen resolution and color settings. Here are descriptions of what each color of the collection looks like in person.
NO6 is the darkest shade. Resembles coffee with no cream.
NO5 is the second darkest shade. Resembles a milk chocolate bar.
