When we think of a dance costume, undergarments aren’t usually the first thing that springs to mind. We often think of layers of floating tulle, sparkling sequins and that ‘wow factor’ when we first lay eyes on the finished product. However, if we don’t select the right undergarments to wear with our costume, that ‘wow’ can become more of an ‘ow’. At Energetiks we understand the importance of finding the perfect undergarment. That’s why our undergarment collection comes in a variety of styles, cuts and colours to make you feel your most comfortable, supported and confident as you step on the stage. To find out more about the undergarments we offer, we’ve provided you a breakdown on the features and benefits of our underwear, bras and bodystockings so you can find the perfect fit for you!

Astrid Brief

The Astrid Brief is the perfect studio to stage undergarment. Designed to be worn as either an undergarment in its own right, costume accessory or costume of its own, there are endless opportunities when it comes to this brief. It comes in both a high and low leg-line, suiting dancers of all ages and is made from our signature ProForm™ fabric, ensuring durability and a high quality finish. It has a high waist to accentuate the natural lines of the body and a gusset to enhance breathability. Coming in black, red, white and wheat, you are sure to find a colour that best suits your needs.

High Cut Brief

The High Cut Brief is the discreet underwear you’ve been looking for. It comes in a range of tones to suit all your needs as well as a high cut leg-line for a discreet look under your dancewear or costume. It contains a cotton gusset to enhance breathability and also comes in two of our highly sought after fabrics - CottonLuxe™ and ProForm Lite™, both of which are durable, comfortable and supportive.

Seamless High Cut Brief

For those who are after a seamless transition from your tights to your leotard, the Seamless High Cut Brief is for you! It’s designed with a high cut leg-line so you don’t need to worry about it poking out from underneath your leotard and its seamless finish prevents any extra bulk, further enhancing its invisibility without compromising on its quality. Its Spandex/Microfibre construction contains moisture management and anti-bacterial technology, keeping you comfortable while you dance. It comes in wheat, salmon pink and theatrical pink to flawlessly match your tight colour and is the perfect brief for exams, competitions and concerts.

Seamless G-String

The older sister to the Seamless High Cut Brief, the Seamless G-String is designed for the older dancer. It has the same high cut leg-line as the brief but the G-string cut further enhances its invisibility. Also designed to have a seamless finish, it won’t display any extra bulk underneath your costume or leotard. Made from breathable Nylon/Spandex it also has moisture management properties, keeping you dry whilst you’re working hard.

Convertible Bra Top

The Convertible Bra Top is suitable for dancers of all ages. It has front to back coverage with a V-neck line at the front to ensure it remains hidden underneath costumes and leotards. It’s designed with an under-bust elastic to provide comfortable support as well as clear, adjustable straps to tailor the fit to the individual. Made from our ProForm Lite™ fabric, it’s designed to keep you cool through its moisture absorbing properties. Coming in wheat, beige and tan there’s a range of colours to suit your requirements.

Clear Back Bra

The Clear Back Bra is the next step up from the Convertible Bra Top. It’s also designed with an under-bust elastic for a discreet, comfortable fit, but the V-neck line is even lower, taking that discretion to the next level. It also contains clear, adjustable straps over the shoulders but also over the back for maximum invisibility, making it a great option for open back costumes. It’s also made from our ProForm Lite™ fabric, a lightweight performance fabric designed to keep you cool, and comes in wheat, beige or tan to suit your needs.

Costume Bra

For those who require a little more support than an under-bust elastic, look no further than the Costume Bra. It’s underwired cups provide extra support without compromising on comfort or fit. It’s designed to be worn with or without straps, with the option to alter straps as required. Like our Clear Back Bra, it also contains a clear back so it can be hidden underneath costumes but still includes the adjustable hooks you would find with most underwire bras allowing you to find the perfect fit. Designed to suit a range of dancers, its sizing starts at an 8 and cup sizes go up to a DD.

Seamless Body Stocking

If you’re after something that provides a little more full body coverage, then a body stocking is for you. Like our Seamless Briefs, our Seamless Body Stocking doesn’t have any side stitching seams allowing for a close, discreet fit. It has a low back to add to its versatility and also comes in both of our CottonLuxe™ and ProForm Lite™ fabrics, keeping you comfortable and cool. A great option for younger ones who want a little more coverage under their costumes or leotards, and it also comes in three tones - wheat, beige and tan.

Seamless Convertible Body Stocking

The Seamless Convertible Body Stocking has all the same features as our Seamless Body Stocking but with the added benefit of adjustable multiway straps to further enhance its versatility and fit. It comes in the same three tones with the wheat and tan coming with clear straps and the beige with matching beige straps. A great option for those who may feel like they need a little more support over the shoulders or who need to disguise shoulder straps under a costume.

Body Stocking with Cups

The Body Stocking with Cups takes the regular body stocking up a level with a double fronted upper containing removable cups for added support and coverage. It still contains the same low back and adjustable straps for added versatility and comes in our lightweight performance fabric ProForm Lite™. It has the same colour tone and strap options as the Seamless Convertible Body Stocking and makes for a great undergarment for older dancers.

Debut Collection

Our Debut Collection contains all of our favourites - the Seamless Body Stocking, Seamless Bra and Seamless Brief but in a Nylon/Spandex fabric combination. They still boast the same features - low back, adjustable straps, high cut, seamless, and a V-neck line around the bust - and come in their own wheat colour tone. Designed to still provide maximum comfort and support, they also come at their own competitive price point!

Freya Camisole

Not traditionally in our undergarment collection, the Freya Camisole is one of our core leotards that also comes in a neutral wheat tone making it an undergarment option or a possible costume piece where a minimalistic look is desired. It has fine straps that can easily be hidden under a costume and also has a gathered front and high back to offer stylish coverage. Being a leotard it’s made from our ProForm™ performance fabric, offering slightly thicker coverage than our bodystockings.

Lydia Short & London Crop Top

The Lydia Short and London Crop Top are the perfect combo if you’re after an undergarment look without wearing an undergarment. Both in our core collection, these two come in our neutral wheat colour tone, making them another choice for undergarments or a minimal costume option. Made in the same ProForm™ performance fabric as our Freya Camisole, they keep you cool and dry while you dance. The shorts have a flattering and comfortable straight waistband and the crop has the same under-bust elastic as our bras with a double front for extra support. Coming with a simple round neck, it’s a popular option for some of our younger dancers.
