This design started as a surprise.
When we began creating special merchandise for Joe and Sydney's Liberty routine debut, we wanted to make something that reflected the story they were about to tell. But the more we designed, sampled, and refined it, the more we realized it wasn't just about one routine, it had quietly become one of the values that shaped everything we were building at The Platform.
Connection Over Perfection is our reminder that the best dances, and often the best moments in life, aren't built on flawless execution. They're built on genuine connection, curiosity, and the willingness to keep showing up, even when things aren't perfect.
The kintsugi-inspired embroidery reflects that idea beautifully. Inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, it celebrates the beauty found in growth, resilience, and the stories we carry with us.
Every piece is embroidered by a family-owned business in Queens, making this collection a little piece of our community from start to finish.
A soft, everyday crop made from 100% cotton with a relaxed fit that's just as comfortable for dancing as it is for everyday wear.
We've wash-tested this shirt ourselves and actually recommend washing it once before wearing. A cold wash gives it a slight shrink that creates an even better fit (air dry recommended).
100% Cotton
Relaxed cropped fit

Our premium crop tee is made from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton for an exceptionally soft feel and lightweight fit.
Unlike the black and white version, this fabric is pre-shrunk, so the fit stays true after washing.
