The product line was created in collaboration with over 200 professional ballet dancers and top fashion designers and was the world's first to combine high-fashion and high-technology in dancewear. Together dancers and designers created a new standard of clothing for workouts, classes and stage performances. The products are manufactured using premium fabrics and materials. ZARÉLY offers a full range of dancewear for children, teens and adults for both men and women.
ZARÉLY believes that dance - particularly ballet - should be more relevant in the world. Combined with today's technology, innovation is the path to the future. Making dance accessible to everyone is part of ZARÉLY's mission. With their 2016 Gala, people all over the world had the opportunity to watch principal dancers all over the world performing LIVE. They were also the first to introduce Worldwide Ballet Classes (WWBC) where anyone could get first class training from the best teachers and coaches in the world.
