Headbands, Scrunchies - Another helpful hair product is our lycra or cotton headbands. These are made here in our factory and again perfectly matched to our leotards and catsuits, so you will never be clashing with a Katz uniform. They are very light and very comfortable to wear and are available in all colours. We also stock hair scrunches in a variety of colours and wrist sweatbands in white.
Leg Warmers - Our leg warmers come in 40cm, 60cm or 90cm and are available in plain and sparkly. They have a handy stirruped foot to keep them in place whilst you dance and are perfect for shows. They are also great for classes in the winter as they help to keep your feet and muscles warm to prevent cramping.
Fabric - For those of you who like to make your own accessories/garments/costumes, we also sell lengths of fabric, available in all colours and selling at £7.50 per meter roll in our shiny nylon/cotton or metallic material.
Foot and Toe Accessories and Socks - As a dancer, taking care of your feet is essential. That is why at Katz we stock a variety of different shoe and foot accessories to keep your feet healthy. We have a range of toe pads in different materials and colours, such as white silicone, pink silicone and pink gel, available in extra-small, small, large and extra-large. We also sell gel toe tubes, pointe shoe toe spacers and foot thongs, so whatever the style of dance, we have your feet covered (literally!) These are available to purchase separately or in a foot accessory pack. We also sell dance pop-socks in black, pink and white that are available in all sizes. These are handy to wear in rehearsals with all styles of dance shoe.
Tights - At Katz, we stock various different styles and colours of dance tights, and are always adding to our range. At the moment we have 30 denier, 70 denier and 90 denier available in pink, black, white, shimmer, fishnet, dark toast tan and light toast tan in full foot, stirrup, convertible and footless styles. Prices range from £2-£10 depending on the professional quality of the tights, so there is a huge range to choose from. We would recommend ordering one size up in all tights as they do tend to come up a little short in the leg.
Underwear - Underwear and undergarments are another essential in the dance world. We stock three different styles of undergarment, all in a nude/flesh colour and seamless to avoid any visible underwear lines under your leotards. Choose between a seamless convertible bra with clear straps and a clear back strap for discretion, seamless, soft dance briefs or a body stocking camisole with a low back, all available in children?s and adults sizes.
Garment and Tutu Covers/Bags - We also stock tutu bags and garment covers, as we know how much of a pain it can be to get your costume from one place to the other without it getting crumpled, damaged or dirty in the process. These are available in small, medium and large and are very light and easy to handle, perfect for show season!
Ballet Barres Our ballet barre is a very handy, free-standing portable bar, with an adjustable height, making it ideal for all ages. The black texture paint finish makes dirty finger marks virtually impossible to see, and the barre itself is made of steel to avoid any warping of the barre or splintering. The pole length is 2 meters high weights 30kg. The barre comes with a full set of instructions and is a great investment.
At Katz we have over 60 styles of dance bags available to buy directly from our website. We have a wide variety of children's, teenagers and adult dance/fitness bags that are perfect for classes, shows and to take to the gym. Some of our styles include handbags, shoulder strap bags, swim drawstrings, lunchboxes, holdall sports bags, satchels, shopping bags, vanity cases, travel bags, backpacks, shoe bags, trolleys, makeup bags and many more, so there is a bag for all occasions! Our bags come in the hard vanity case, satin, nylon or PVC material, and are hand-made here in our very own factory in Northamptonshire. We have small, medium and large bags available to suit everyone's personal needs and preferences, and these come in many different colours. Our bags are perfect for ballet dancers and many other styles, and some even have a separate pocket for dance shoes to keep them from making the bag and clothes smell or dirty whilst you carry them around. Our bags are also suitable for general use and are very handy as an overnight bag if you are going away for the weekend.
We have designed and developed many garments that have multiple purposes. Products such as our catsuits, tutus and tutu skirts are not only perfect for dancewear, but are also ideal for transforming into any fancy dress character you can think of. For example, our jade green catsuit along with our pink leg warmers and pink elastic waist belt makes the ideal Barbie costume from Toy Story 3, whilst the yellow leotard with the two tone yellow and black tutu skirt makes the perfect bee costume for the little ones. Our white and black tutu leotard outfits make the perfect duo costume from the "Black Swan? film and even something as simple as the KDC029 long sleeved leotard in black, accessorised with our gorgeous fishnet tights can be made into a Beyoncé costume from the "Single Ladies" music video. The possibilities are endless, all you need is a creative mind and we will provide the rest!

These include cosmetic bags, cushions, dolls, hair clips and bands, handbags, iron on transfers, jewellery, jewellery boxes, jewellery holders, keyrings, mirrors, money boxes, note books and pens, party candles, pencil cases, photo albums, rugs, mats, purses, ballet barres, t-shirts and umbrellas.
