Behind the Sparkle:
Where the Magic Begins
Dancing Stars is a New Jersey-based dance costume brand born from a deep love for performance and design. What began as a small workshop has grown into a trusted name across the U.S., celebrated for our custom costumes that bring choreography to life.
Our designs combine high-performance construction with stage-ready glamour—featuring our signature embellishments,hand-sewn beadwork, and show-stopping silhouettes. Each costume is created with purpose: to move with the dancer, to shine with the lights, and to spark confidence the moment it’s worn.
From local showcases to national stages, we’re proud to see Dancing Stars creations dazzle across the country—each telling its own unforgettable story.

The Vision Behind the Sparkle
At the heart of Dancing Stars is our founder and lead designer, Tarfa Zain, whose journey began with a simple belief: that dance costumes should feel as powerful as the performance itself. With a background in design and a lifelong admiration for the art of dance, Tarfa Zain turned her passion into purpose—creating one-of-a-kind pieces that combine structure, movement, and artistry. Every sketch she draws and every fabric she selects is guided by a deep understanding of how costumes transform confidence on stage. Known for her eye for detail and signature embellishment work, she leads a team that shares her dedication to quality, elegance, and performance-focused design. When she’s not in the studio dreaming up the next collection, Tarfa Zain finds joy in seeing young dancers light up as they wear her creations—a reminder of why she started, and why the sparkle must go on.
