Fitting Guide

Finding a perfect dance shoe or garment is very satisfying. But getting the right size is essential – it affects performance (and appearance!). So, here’s our guide to ensure you have the best fit possible.

Leotards

Leotards, like swimsuits, should fit smoothly, without wrinkles across the body of the leotard.

If in doubt, check the growth room of a leotard by gently pulling up the shoulders of the leotard. The optimal amount of growth room is when the leotard stretches to the bottom of the ear. (This gives a minimum of a few inches of growing room). If the leotard can stretch beyond the top of the ear, it is too big!

Too big

Stretches beyond the top of the ear.

Just right

Does not stretch above ears.
