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.

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
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
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.
