Revolution Dancewear Discloses Data Breach Compromising Personal Info for 5k Individuals

Revolution Dancewear, a Niles, Illinois-based company that specializes in dance costumes and dancewear for dance studios and programs, reported that an unauthorized party accessed its internal systems on or about March 16, 2025, to on or about April 3, 2025.

On March 17, 2026, nearly a year after the breach occurred, the company confirmed that the potentially affected data may have included personal information belonging to certain individuals.

The types of personal information exposed included first and last names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers without access information, credit or debit card numbers without access information, driver's or state license numbers, handwritten or electronic signatures, health-related information, health-related financial information, IP addresses, individual taxpayer identification numbers, passport numbers and social insurance numbers.

The breach was disclosed to the Maine Attorney General on April 17, 2026, reporting approximately 5,841 individuals in the United States affected, including 183 Maine residents.

Revolution Dancewear also posted a notice of the incident on its website. The company began notifying affected consumers in writing on April 17, 2026.

Revolution Dancewear's response to the breach

Revolution Dancewear is offering affected individuals a complimentary membership to Experian IdentityWorks credit monitoring. No credit card is required to enroll.

The Experian IdentityWorks membership includes several protective features, including an Experian credit report at signup, active credit monitoring across Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, and identity restoration support. The membership also includes Experian IdentityWorks ExtendCare, which provides continued identity restoration support even after the membership period expires, along with $1 million in identity theft insurance to cover certain costs and unauthorized electronic fund transfers.

Revolution Dancewear has also set up a dedicated toll-free response line for individuals who have questions about the incident. The line is available Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, according to the notification letter.

Given the range of sensitive information compromised as a result of the breach, affected individuals should consider taking prompt action to protect themselves.

Steps to take if your information was exposed

• Place a fraud alert or security freeze on credit files by contacting Equifax (1-800-525-6285), Experian (1-888-397-3742) or TransUnion (1-800-680-7289) to help prevent new accounts from being opened without authorization.
• Request free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and review them carefully for any unfamiliar accounts, inquiries or incorrect information.
• Contact financial institutions about any bank accounts, credit cards or debit cards that may have been affected, and ask whether it is necessary to close accounts or obtain new account numbers.
• Watch for phishing attempts that reference Revolution Dancewear or this data breach by name, as scammers may try to use the incident to trick people into providing additional personal details.
• Review health insurance statements for any claims or services that were not authorized, since health-related information was among the types of data exposed in this breach.
• Consider contacting the IRS about an Identity Protection PIN if a taxpayer identification number was involved, as this information could potentially be used to file a fraudulent tax return.
