Gymnastics Leotards

Young dancers and aspiring gymnasts will look the part in pretty and practical gymnastics leotards. An essential element of any gymnast or dancer's wardrobe, boys and girls from age three and upwards can find the fit, fabric, shape and cut to suit them, whether it is to be worn for competition or training.

A leotard can catch the eye with sparkles and colors. They should also be comfortable, form-fitting, so that a teacher or judge can easily check how muscles and posture are being used, and flexible and durable so that it does not split while movements are being performed. Leotards with sleeves will provide more warmth whilst sleeveless ones are best worn to keep cool.

An aspiring Max Whitlock can choose his ideal leotard from brands such as Zodiac Leotards, which produces a ‘Prism' pattern leotard in grey, and CK Leotards which sells boys' leotards in various colors with a stripe print across the chest. Popular characters such as Minions and Spiderman can also be found adorning a boys' leotard.
