Dancewear Trend: Yumiko-like sporty style

Yumiko has been an industry leader is fashionable, quality dancewear for years.  Now, a few other brands, notably those owned by discountdance.com, have been coming out with styles that are almost exact replicas of well-loved Yumiko styles.  The sporty looks often feature bright colors with contrasting trim, unique cuts, and special touches like zips and mesh.  These styles are flattering and usually work well for different styles of dance.

There is a little controversy concerning discount dance and it's related companies creating designs that are nearly identical to designs Yumiko has been selling for years.  I personally prefer to support Yumiko because the company was the original producer of the designs in question.  I also know and love the quality of Yumiko products.  The leotards available from discount dance are cheaper than those from Yumiko, so they seem like a great option for dancers who want a similar style for a cheaper price.
