The UNCSA Dance Costume Shop is the professional costume shop of the School of Dance. Since early in the School’s history, the elevated quality of performances presented by the School of Dance has demanded a full time staff to focus solely on constructing dancewear for both Contemporary and Ballet productions. Our costumes, ranging from classical tutus to intricate stretch-wear, are often requeste
d for rental by both pre-professional dance schools and professional companies around the country. Costumes in our stock include the re-constructions of classic pieces from Balanchine to Cunningham, as well as new designs by renowned designers such as David Huval and Eduardo Sicangco, and local designers including Carolyn Fay and Kathryn Grillo. Providing our students and our audience members the opportunity to experience the splendor of exemplary dance costumes is a passion that we continue to uphold since the original vision of Christina Gianinni, the shop’s founding Dance Costume Designer. The Dance Costume Shop is open during the school year, Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m.- 5:30 p.m.
