A great dance bag isn’t just full of shoes and tights, it’s stocked with the small upgrades that turn a long studio day into a smooth one. The right grip sock saves a class. The right dance bag saves your back. The right under-eye masks save your competition photos.

Capezio has been outfitting dancers for over a century, and this 2026 lineup leans right into that mix of practical and playful: smarter storage, sparkly extras, and self-care pieces that feel just as essential as your canvas ballet shoes. Whether you’re a recreational dancer, a competitive soloist, or a parent stocking up for a packed season, there’s something here worth adding to the kit.

Here are our top Capezio accessory picks for the year ahead, all in stock at The Dance Store.

1. Capezio Soft Elegance Dance Cami Top

The Soft Elegance Dance Cami is a layering MVP, with a flattering V-neckline, clean seam lines, and just enough structure to wear straight to barre or thrown over a leotard for warm-up. A fantastic staple dance top that does its job across styles and classes. Get it here.

2. Capezio Deep Neck Clear Back Strap Bra

Costume changes get a lot easier with the right foundation. The Deep Neck Clear Back Strap Bra disappears under low-back leos and open silhouettes, while still giving you the support you need to actually move. A staple every competition season. Find it here.

3. Capezio All-Over Rhinestone Fishnet Tight

Want stage presence built into your tights? These matte fishnets are scattered with iridescent rhinestones that catch the light from every angle. Perfect for jazz, lyrical, or any number where you and your choreographer are wanting a little extra shimmer in motion. Shop them here.

4. Capezio Ribbed Sock

The grip-sock comeback is real, and Capezio’s Ribbed Sock is one of the most-requested versions at our counter. The nylon-spandex blend hugs the foot without bunching, and the ribbed texture makes them just as cute on top of slippers as they are walking to the studio café across the street. Pick a pair here.

5. Capezio Soho Canvas Tote Bag

Made from 100% cotton twill with a snap closure, the Soho Canvas Tote is a clean, durable everyday bag that easily handles a leotard, a water bottle, a pair of slippers, and the rest of life’s overflow. It’s the kind of dance bag that doesn’t actually look like a dance bag — which is part of the appeal. Grab it here.

6. Capezio Cooling Under Eye Mask Set

Late rehearsals and early call times take a toll, and these Cooling Under Eye Masks are a recovery hack worth keeping in your kit. The 12-pack works wonders before competition headshots, performance days, or just a Monday morning that started before sunrise. Add a set to your bag.

7. Capezio Glow & Go Travel LED Mirror

New for 2026, the Glow & Go Travel LED Mirror is built for backstage chaos: compact, bright, and ready for that frantic between-numbers touch-up. We’ve already had dancers buy two — one for the dance bag, one for the bathroom counter. See it here.

8. Capezio Lightweight Heart Pouch

The cutest organizational upgrade you’ll buy this year. The Heart Pouch’s signature heart-shaped zipper keeps bobby pins, lip gloss, and bun nets from disappearing into the bottom of your tote. Small, light, hard to lose. Have a look.

9. Capezio Professional Glitter Tight

For solos and group numbers that need a little extra glow, the Professional Glitter Tight delivers exactly that: semi-opaque, soft, stretchy, and woven through with a fine shimmer that reads beautifully under stage lights without overpowering the costume. Available here.
