Nina Shorts

The Nina Shorts are high-waisted women’s dance shorts that go on quickly between rehearsal and stage. The body-hugging modern cut holds the figure without restricting movement; through the hip and leg figures of latin and High Heels work the shorts stay in place, so the dancer’s attention stays entirely on technique.

Women’s Dance Shorts Nina: Design & Highlights

The high waist is the defining detail: it keeps the waistline up, visually lengthens the leg and cleans the line of the torso. Nina’s short leg leaves the hip movement open to the audience, which makes the movement easier to read in latin and rhythm work. Its minimal form makes it versatile: on its own in class and rehearsal, and on stage with a skirt or a jumpsuit layered over it. In looks built with a bra or a crop top, the plain line of the shorts brings the detail above it forward. Even at a heavy training pace the waistband does not slip and the shorts stay in place.

Fabric & Material

The Nina Shorts are made from stretch scuba fabric, 95% polyester and 5% elastane. The firm texture holds the body while the four-way stretch joins every figure; the high waistband keeps its seat all day. The smooth surface reads evenly under stage light and holds its color through frequent washing.

Size & Fit Guide

The Nina Shorts are produced in five sizes from XS to XL, and our size chart is the reference. With a high-waisted cut, the right size comes from checking waist and hip together on the chart. For anyone between two sizes, the waist measurement comes before the length; the stretch of the scuba fabric balances small differences.

Pairing Suggestions

Build a class or stage look with a bra, a crop top, a leotard or a bodysuit, and complete the performance look by adding a dance skirt or a jumpsuit over it. For other bottoms, browse our women’s dance shorts and shorts collection.

A Wide Color Range

The Nina Shorts are produced in nine colors: black is the basic choice that works with every top; burgundy, red and plum carry stage energy; saxe blue adds a lively accent; khaki and brown build a natural palette; white stands for elegance and leopard for a bolder character. All nine tones are sewn on the same women’s dance shorts pattern, high waist and short leg; the color is chosen to suit the character of the program.
