Size & Fit Advice

Nova has a close, sculpted fit and generally fits true to Ballet Rosa sizing. It is intentionally more compressive than a standard Ballet Rosa leotard.

36 = XS/Petite
38 = Small
40 = Medium
42 = Large

Girth is the most important measurement when selecting a leotard. The Vitalité compression fabric is firm and responsive, while the broad straps and shaped upper bodice mean correct torso length remains important.

Dancers between sizes or those with a longer torso may prefer the larger size. Choose your usual Ballet Rosa size for the intended compression or size up if you prefer a gentler hold. The front is fully lined for additional opacity and a more secure studio feel.

Care information

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent whenever possible. If machine washing, turn the leotard inside out, place it inside a protective mesh laundry bag and use a cold delicate cycle.

Do not use bleach, fabric softener or harsh chemicals. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can place unnecessary strain on the compression fibres and panel seams.

Gently reshape after washing and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean.

Best For: Intensive ballet training • Long rehearsals • Technique coaching • Auditions • Performance preparation

Description

Strength Shaped into Every Line

The Ballet Rosa Nova leotard gives a classical tank silhouette a distinctly technical purpose. A clean bateau neckline and curved empire seam frame the upper body, while Vitalité compression creates a firm, sculpted feel through the torso.


Ballet Rosa Nova Compression Tank Leotard – Design & Performance

Nova begins with a softly curved bateau neckline and broad tank straps that sit securely across the shoulders. The wider strap construction provides a more anchored feeling than a camisole while preserving a clean and uninterrupted upper-body line.

A contrasting centre panel draws the eye vertically through the bodice, while the curved empire seam creates gentle definition beneath the bust. Below this line, the specialised Vitalité fabric brings firmer compression through the waist and torso, creating a smooth and deliberately sculpted silhouette.

The deep U-back opens the line across the shoulder blades and highlights the dancer’s back without compromising the secure placement of the straps. Full front lining provides dependable opacity and additional stability, while resilient stretch and antibacterial properties prepare Nova for repeated classes, rehearsals and intensive studio use.

Why Dancers Love Nova

Confidence for Longer Days A secure, sculpted fit helps the leotard remain composed through demanding classes and rehearsals.
Freedom Across the Shoulders The deep U-back leaves the shoulder blades open while broad straps remain comfortably anchored.

The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Individual fit and feel may vary.


Studio Experience

Nova feels firmly held through the waist and core, while the broad straps distribute tension more comfortably across the shoulders than a narrow camisole style. The open U-back allows generous movement around the shoulder blades, but the strong compression means correct girth remains especially important. A size that is too short may pull at the neckline and straps, while the larger size may suit dancers seeking a gentler compressive feel.


Vitalité – Strength Beneath the Surface

The Ballet Rosa Vitalité Collection was created around active compression designed specifically for the physical demands of dance. Ballet Rosa positions the fabric as supporting the core, circulation, warm-up efficiency and post-exertion recovery while helping dancers maintain a more composed feeling through longer training sessions.

Antibacterial and odour-control properties add practical freshness during intensive use, while the resilient Italian performance fabric is designed to retain its shape over time. In Nova, this technology is balanced by an elegant neckline, sculpted panel construction and an open back that keeps the overall effect unmistakably Ballet Rosa.


Product Highlight

⚡ Sculpted Studio Strength

Nova brings a powerful sense of structure to the traditional ballet tank. The curved empire line, vertical centre panel and deep U-back turn performance compression into an intentional part of the silhouette. It feels technical without becoming clinical, preserving the refinement and artistry expected from Ballet Rosa.


Why We Recommend It

We recommend Nova for dancers who prefer broad, secure straps and a firmly supported torso during intensive training. It offers more compression than a traditional tank leotard while keeping the neckline elegant and the back sufficiently open for expressive upper-body movement.

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 sensation, consider the larger size. The empire seam should sit smoothly beneath the bust without pulling upwards, and the neckline should remain flat as the arms move.
