Ballet Rosa dancewear is designed for a close, professional ballet fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size. For leotards and unitards, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso. If you are between sizes or have a longer torso, the larger size is often the more comfortable starting point.

For Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is the most useful measurement when sizes disagree. A dancer can have a small bust and waist but still need the next size because of torso length. If the girth is close to the upper limit, or the dancer has a longer torso, sizing up usually gives a more comfortable result without losing the close ballet silhouette.
How to Measure for Ballet Rosa Dancewear
Measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.
Girth
Key MeasurementUsing a flexible tape measure, start at the centre of one shoulder. Bring the tape down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. For Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Bust / Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the bust or chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body and comfortably close without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and do not pull it too tightly.
Hips
Stand with the feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat. Keep the tape straight and level around the body.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Ballet Rosa does not use height directly in this women and girls garment chart, but it is useful when considering overall body proportion and whether a longer-torso fit may be needed.
Ballet Rosa adult sizes correspond approximately to 36 = XS/Petite, 38 = Small, 40 = Medium, 42 = Large and 44 = XL. The garments are intended to fit closely, but torso length is particularly important in leotards. If the dancer has a longer torso or the girth sits near the top of a size range, consider the next size up. Ballet Rosa also notes that a Long Torso adjustment of approximately 2 cm / 1" can sometimes be appropriate.

Where Ballet Elegance Meets Intelligent Compression
The Ballet Rosa Akia leotard brings technical purpose to the simplicity of a camisole silhouette. A subtle V-front and defined bust panel create clean lines, while Vitalité compression supports the torso with a secure, sculpted feel.
Ballet Rosa Akia Compression Camisole Leotard – Design & Performance
Akia begins with slim camisole straps and a softly shaped V-neckline, creating an open upper-body line without losing the feeling of security dancers need during concentrated training. The contrast bust panel and central front detailing bring definition to the bodice, while the broad underbust-style band gives the design a modern, athletic structure.
Developed as part of Ballet Rosa’s Vitalité Collection, the specialised performance fabric provides targeted compression through the torso. This firmer stretch is designed to support the core, encourage a composed sense of alignment and help manage muscular fatigue during longer classes and rehearsals.
The clean high back offers reassuring coverage and continues the streamlined panel construction around the body. Full front lining provides additional opacity and stability, while the slim straps leave the shoulders unrestricted. Antibacterial properties, resilient stretch and a refined ballet-cut leg complete this technically focused design.
Why Dancers Love Akia
Dance World Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Akia feels more structured than a typical Ballet Rosa camisole, with the compression most noticeable through the waist and core. The defined bust panel and high back help the leotard remain settled during movement, reducing the need for adjustments. Correct girth is particularly important: a fit that is too short may create excessive tension through the straps, while dancers wanting a gentler compressive feel may prefer the larger size.
Vitalité – Compression Redefined for Dance
The Ballet Rosa Vitalité Collection approaches dancewear through targeted support rather than decoration alone. Its technical fabric and carefully positioned panel construction are designed to support the torso, encourage alignment and provide a composed feeling through intensive movement.
Akia expresses this performance technology through a clean, contemporary silhouette. The defined upper bodice, high back and sculpting body transform compression into part of the visual design, while antibacterial properties and dependable shape recovery make it practical for repeated studio wear.
Product Highlight
⚡ Vitalité Performance
Akia shows that technically advanced dancewear can still feel refined. Its V-front, defined bust framing and supportive high back turn targeted compression into part of the design rather than simply a hidden feature. The result is a purposeful leotard with the clean lines of ballet and the firmer support required for more demanding training.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend Akia for dancers who want a more supportive and compressive feel than a traditional camisole leotard provides. It is especially well suited to intensive classes, extended rehearsals and training days when secure torso support can help the dancer feel composed and focused.
Dance World Tip
Select your usual Ballet Rosa size for the intended Vitalité compression. If you have a longer torso, fall between sizes or prefer a less compressive feel, consider choosing the larger size. The underbust band should sit level around the body without pulling the straps forward.
