Our new athletic grey adult t-shirt is similar to the girl fit one we had this fall, but this unisex fit is longer in the body and comes in larger sizes.

Also new TDAC Tank Top and Capri's for Adults. Tank Top comes in XXS and capri's start at Small.
These capris are perfect for Jazz class or hip hop!

We're offering a new logo on four different color tank tops. These tank tops reflect the different uniform colors for the different ballet levels. All the proceeds from the Ballet Dept tanks goes towards the ballet department supplies and equipment.
