Dance World Tip

For fitted dancewear and leotards, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso. For children's garments, use age only as a starting point and prioritise actual body measurements whenever possible.

Adult Tights

So Danca Adult Tights Size Chart

Before Choosing Your Size

Take dancewear measurements over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. For shoes, measure both feet while standing and use the longer foot as your starting point.

Bust / Chest Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body.

Waist Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso.

Hips Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

Girth Start at one shoulder, measure down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back to the same shoulder in one continuous loop.

Foot Length Measure from heel to longest toe while standing. Measure both feet and use the longer measurement.

So Danca Fit Guidance

So Danca makes a wide range of dancewear and footwear, so fit can vary between styles. For garments, use the measurement chart that matches the wearer and product category. For tights, compare both height and weight. For dance shoes, use the international conversion table as a reference only and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Fit Note So Danca size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit can vary depending on body proportions, garment design, fabric, stretch, shoe construction, width and personal preference. Where an individual product carries its own sizing recommendation, that model-specific advice should take priority.

Ideal For Ballet Exams • Stage Performances • Ballet Class • Growing Students • Advanced Young Dancers • Classical Ballet Training • Presentation Classes

Description

The So Danca BAE15 Children's Satin Ballet Shoes combine the timeless beauty of a satin ballet shoe with the greater flexibility of a split sole. Designed for young dancers who want elegant stage presentation with more natural foot movement, they are a wonderful choice for ballet examinations, performances and presentation-focused ballet training.

The premium satin upper creates a beautifully polished classical appearance, while the split sole allows the foot to move more naturally than a traditional full sole. The result is a ballet shoe that feels lighter and more expressive while maintaining the refined look many ballet teachers love for examinations and performances.

Designed for Beautiful Ballet Lines

The So Danca BAE15 is designed for young dancers who are beginning to develop stronger foot articulation while maintaining a beautifully classical appearance. The split sole encourages more natural movement through the arch, helping create elegant ballet lines without losing the traditional satin finish expected for examinations and performances.

Available in Pink, the satin upper blends beautifully with traditional ballet tights to create a clean, uninterrupted leg line. The adjustable cotton drawstring allows small adjustments around the front of the foot for a neat, secure fit.

Guide

Why Choose a Split Sole Satin Ballet Shoe?

A split sole allows the front and back of the shoe to move more independently, helping young dancers point their feet more naturally and develop stronger articulation through the arch.

Combined with its elegant satin finish, the BAE15 is a popular choice for dancers who want a beautifully presented ballet shoe for examinations and performances while enjoying a little more flexibility than a traditional full sole.

Guide

How should satin split sole ballet shoes fit?

Ballet shoes fit differently from everyday school shoes. Always measure your child's feet rather than using their current school shoe size.

Choose approximately 1½–2 UK sizes larger
Comfortable ballet fit with growing room

Because satin has virtually no natural stretch, choosing the correct size is especially important. The split sole performs best when the shoe fits neatly against the foot, allowing it to move naturally without excess fabric.

Dance World Size Guide is intended as a helpful starting point. Every child's feet are unique, so fit may vary depending on foot shape, growth and personal preference.

The So Danca BAE15 combines elegant classical presentation with greater freedom of movement, making it an excellent choice for young dancers preparing for examinations, performances and more advanced ballet training.
