A Journey of Passion and Purpose
The Spark
Limelight Teamwear began with a devoted “Dance Dad” who, after countless weekends at competitions, noticed the industry lacked fashionable, functional apparel for studios and teams. What started as a passion project to design better teamwear for his daughter and her teammates quickly evolved into a full-scale business—one built on innovation, performance, and style.
A Designer’s Vision Joins the Team
Erika joined the Limelight team, bringing decades of experience in fashion design and a deep understanding of the dance industry. With a background that includes five years as Head Designer for Paula Lishman and over 20 years running her own dance costume company, Erika brought an elevated design sensibility and technical expertise. Her arrival marked the beginning of a new creative chapter for Limelight.
Limelight Costumes takes center stage
Recognizing a gap in the Canadian costume market, Limelight Costumes was created to offer custom-quality costumes in an accessible catalog format. Our mission: to support under-served Canadian studios by providing beautifully made, inclusive, high-performance costumes backed by exceptional customer service.
2026- year two of Limelight Costumes brings a new evolution offering fully custom costumes to both Canadian and U.S dance studios. With limited spots available, we are excited to help bring studios visions to life, while still offering a collection of in-stock costumes for quick and easy ordering!
We blend thoughtful design with technical expertise to create costumes that move with dancers.
