Studio VIE: Turning Costume Chaos into Crystal-Clear Consistency
THE CHALLENGE
​
A sea of tiny dancers, a mountain of rhinestones, and one major headache—getting dozens of kids (and their parents) to finish their costumes with precision. With intricate details needing to be identical across all performers, the process was frustrating, time-consuming, and prone to inconsistencies. And in the world of competitive dance, uniformity isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about winning.
​ ​
​
THE STRATEGY
We needed a system that was as effortless as a pirouette. Something clear, simple, and easy enough for even the busiest parents to execute flawlessly. The goal? Remove the guesswork and create a foolproof layout that makes costume completion practically automatic.
THE EXECUTION
Enter the ultimate costume roadmap! We designed ultra-intuitive layout guides that broke down rhinestone placement and final costume touches into easy-to-follow steps. No more “Where do these go?” or “Am I doing this right?”—just a seamless, stress-free process that empowered parents and dancers alike to get it done with confidence.
​ ​
​
THE OUTCOME
Less stress. More sparkle. Stronger scores.
​
With our system in place, parents spent less time struggling, and costumes came together faster (and more consistently). The result? Judges saw a polished, professional-looking performance, boosting overall scores. Studio VIE dancers shined, literally and figuratively, on stage. Mission accomplished
