The Costume Source Business Catalyst
If you have a business in the dance or performing arts sectors that you are looking to grow by partnering with a team of experienced entrepreneurs or sell on fair terms, we'd like to talk to you!
We are interested in innovative businesses primarily within the dance and performing arts sectors (excluding dance schools) that are ready to take the next step:
- Growth: Your business needs investment and/or mentoring to reach the next level.
- Hurdle: Your business is viable but has encountered a challenge that requires support to overcome and continue growing.
- Exit: You’ve taken your business as far as you can and are looking for a clean exit and to hand over the reins with confidence.
Your business doesn't need to be in a related field, but it must capture our interest. It must be UK-based, have stable or growing turnover, free from current litigation, and pass our due diligence process.
We're not backed by venture capital, and we aren't some sleazy bankers, so the whole process is quick, simple and based on mutual respect. You aren't just a line on a spreadsheet.
Doing things properly is how we started, how we work and how we shape our future. It's in our DNA. For us, business is about solving problems - not just making money.
We understand this can be daunting, but you can have a candid, confidential conversation with us. We’re non-judgmental and will quickly determine if your business is of interest and under what terms (investment, mentoring, purchase, or a combination). We won’t waste your time or string you along.
Reach out to us and let’s explore how we can support your business’s growth or facilitate a seamless transition.

Sizing Tips
The most important measurement is the Girth.
If a dancer is between two sizes, always opt for the larger size.
Because we stock lots of different styles from lots of different manufacturers, we standardise our sizes to make it easier for you.
Girth
With them standing straight, measure from the top of one shoulder, down the fullest part of their chest, through their legs and back up to the same shoulder.
Bust
With their arms down at their sides, measure the fullest part of their chest.
Waist
Ask them to bend to one side and place the start of the measure at the natural indentation. Once they have straightened up, measure from this point around the waist.
Hips
With their feet together, measure around the fullest part of their hips and bum.
Inseam
With them barefooted, measure the inner leg from their crotch to the floor.
