Dance demands everything from your body — and the last thing you need is your costume demanding attention too.
Whether you're a recreational dancer finding your feet or a competitive performer chasing your next title, Body Glue's roll-on dancers adhesive keeps your leotard, bodysuit, tights, and costume accessories exactly where they belong — so you can focus on your performance, not your outfit.
Dance costumes are designed to look incredible on stage — but they're not always designed to stay put.
Leotards ride up, tights slip down, straps shift mid-routine, and carefully placed accessories can loosen just when it matters most. For ballet, jazz, tap, Irish step, and contemporary dancers alike, costume distractions aren't just uncomfortable — they can affect your focus, your confidence, and your performance!
Body Glue is a skin-safe, hypoallergenic roll-on adhesive that creates a firm bond between your skin and your costume. It's used by dancers across styles and levels to solve some of the most common costume headaches:
Leotards and bodysuits
Stop ride-up in its tracks. Apply to the skin along the hemline or leg openings and press your leotard into place for a hold that moves with you through every jump, turn, and stretch.
Tights and stockings
Keep tights from slipping, bunching, or twisting during a routine. A quick roll-on application to the skin keeps them smooth and secure from warm-up to final bow.
Costume straps and necklines
Narrow straps and draped necklines have nowhere to go when Hold Up Body Adhesive is keeping them in place. Ideal for ballet and jazz costumes with delicate detailing.
Accessories and embellishments
Gems, rhinestones, and decorative pieces can be secured directly to skin for added confidence on stage.
Both formulas are skin-safe and hypoallergenic, but for most dancers we recommend Body Glue Premium:
Body Glue Premium is approximately 30% stronger than the Original and is more resistant to moisture — making it the clear choice for active dance use. Because the adhesive is water-soluble, sweat from high-energy routines can gradually weaken a standard formula. Premium is specifically designed to hold up when you're working hard, whether that's a full Irish step competition, a jazz recital, or an intensive ballet class.
Body Glue Original is a great option for lower-intensity situations — lighter rehearsals, recitals, or any performance where heavy perspiration isn't expected.
Application takes seconds and fits easily into any pre-performance routine:
When you're done, removal is easy — warm water is all you need.
From first-time recreational classes to competitive stages, Hold Up Body Adhesive gives dancers of every style and level the confidence to perform without distraction.
