About

Helen Valentina Dancewear was started in 2003 by Helen - a graduate of the Melbourne College of Textiles and her sister Valentina, making Bridal dresses and Debutant gowns.

In 2004, Helen Valentina started making costumes for the ballroom world after Helen’s sons’ dance partner needed a ballroom gown. This young couple won an Australian title that year in their category wearing that very first gown. In 2005 Helen took over the business and decided to concentrate on dancewear. Her keen eye for design and colour, together with years of experience sewing in stretch fabric, has seen many breathtaking costumes take to the dance floor.

Helen has made countless costumes for some of Australia’s top Ballroom, New Vogue and Latin dancers, as well as many Jazz, Salsa performance and stage shows.

Helen Valentina offers made to measure and off the rack costumes as well as practice wear and dance supplies from our studio in Ivanhoe. If you are looking for a quality professionally made garment to make you look and feel like a champion call Helen or browse the website to explore your opportunities.
