OUR STORY

Performance Dancewear,

Made with Passion

Founded by four-time State Champion Karen Leuzzi, Neon Dancewear brings over 40 years of performance experience to every piece we create.

Meet Karen, Founder

From Champion to Designer

Karen's journey with dance began at age 4 in the Sutherland Shire. Through dedication and passion, she achieved what many dream of becoming, a four-time State Physical Culture Champion.

After briefly retiring from competition, Karen noticed a gap in the market. Physie girls and Dancers deserved more options using premium fabrics, perfect fit, and designs that truly understood the demands of performance.

In 2017, Neon Dancewear was born. What started in a small home garage has grown to outfit thousands of dancers and multiple clubs across Australia.

"Every dancer deserves to feel confident and beautiful. That's why we craft each piece with the same attention to detail I demanded as a competitor."
