COMPANY AND BRAND / OUR STORY

"DTC Dance Trading Company srl", with head offices in Brescia, owns the Coppelia brand and now acts as a holding company for the group, established in 1998. It is situated in a prime position in the European markets thanks both to its extensive manufacturing knowledge and its awareness of the realities of international and domestic users. The variety and flexibility of its services are widely recognised, both for the excellent quality to price value of the items in the catalogue, and, above all, for the excellent level of service offered. The most prestigious brands in the world rely on the experience and professionalism of "DTC Dance Trading Company Srl" for distribution in Italy.

The company has created a collection of products specifically for the dance sector, marketed under the brand Coppelia, such as demi-pointe, pointe and jazz shoes, bodysuits, tights and accessories; the result of research carried out in collaboration with professional dancers.

The main production lines, "Coppelia Basic" and "Coppelia Dance Professional" are accompanied by a range dedicated to those dancers that follow the method of the Royal Academy of Dancing (RAD), the "Coppelia English Collection".

For decades the company has been offering a complete service to the dance industry, and over the years it has established distribution agreements with major companies worldwide to promote them on the international markets; these include Grishko, Sansha, Gaynor Minden, Gladis, The Gifted Dancer, Eurotard , and others that are smaller and less widespread but nonetheless linked to specialist products.
One of the strengths of our production lines is our range of tights; specifically produced for dance with avant-garde materials and design, they satisfy all the needs of the various dance disciplines. Unlike other manufacturers, who use the spinning and production techniques of traditional tights while simply adapting the materials and colours of some models to use in the dance sector, "DTC Dance Trading Company srl" is the only company to guarantee specific production.

In its workshops, in fact, the experience gained through years of working in the dance industry and specialization in the most modern production technologies in the field have resulted in specifically designed tights, created and tested in collaboration with professional and amateur dancers. It uses a modern 3D (three dimensional) production system, using high-tech machines to process microfibre yarns, to distribute elasticity evenly over the entire surface of the garment. This process guarantees extraordinary freedom of movement and comfort, which is inconceivable in products made using traditional technology.
The microfibre used in production is of the highest quality: in fact, it contains as many threads as there are "denier" that make up the weight of the yarn, in contrast to multi-fibres (often passed off as microfibre) that contain only two or three threads, formed in turn by so-called "microfilaments" that are not suitable for a high quality product. The seams are also made ??with microfibre thread to avoid creating discrepancies in the elasticity and to maintain a uniform fit. The narrowest part, near the ankle, avoids the typical "sagging" effect (especially in little girls), preventing the formation of unsightly wrinkles.
Compliance with series and size is guaranteed by the use of a different cylinder for each size, whereas makeshift manufacturers use only two (one for adults and one for children) to lengthen or shorten the tights to vary the sizes.

Internal manufacturing is used to test all of these characteristics during the various processing steps and to obtain optimum quality control. To confirm this, exports of our tights continue with success all over Europe, in the USA and in Japan.

DTC's aim is to always provide its customers with expertise and professionalism in terms of research and testing, ensuring the best level of service thanks to a constantly updated inventory.
