So Danca sizing varies by garment and product category. For dancewear, use body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For shoes, use measured foot length as your starting point and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

So Danca Children's Garments Size Chart
Children's ages are shown as a guide only. For the most reliable fit, compare the child's chest, waist, hips and girth measurements with the chart.
| Size | Chest inch |
Waist inch |
Hips inch |
Girth inch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size 0 Age 4–6 |
20" – 22" | 18" – 19" | 22" – 24" | 37" – 39" |
| Size 1 Age 6–7 |
22" – 25" | 19" – 20" | 24" – 26" | 40" – 42" |
| Size 2 Age 8–10 |
25" – 28" | 20" – 21" | 26" – 28" | 43" – 45" |
| Size 2A Age 12–14 |
28" – 31" | 21" – 22" | 28" – 30" | 46" – 48" |
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.

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.
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.

Description
Description
The So Danca SD16 Width C Stretch Canvas Ballet Shoes offer the same streamlined performance and flexible feel as the bestselling SD16 B, with additional room across the forefoot and metatarsals. Designed for dancers who love the SD16 but find the standard medium width too restrictive, the C width provides a more accommodating fit without sacrificing the close, responsive feel that makes this shoe so popular.
Soft stretch canvas follows the shape of the foot, while the flexible split sole allows natural articulation through every tendu, relevé and point. The result is a ballet shoe that still feels clean and connected, but gives wider feet the space they need to move comfortably.
So Danca SD16 Width C Ballet Shoe Personality
Streamlined • Accommodating • Arch-Hugging • Versatile
The So Danca SD16 Width C keeps everything dancers love about the original SD16 while offering a little more freedom across the front of the foot. The stretch canvas still sits closely around the arch and heel, but the wider fit helps reduce unwanted pressure through the toes and metatarsals.
It is especially useful for dancers who already know they enjoy the SD16's lightweight, flexible feel but need additional forefoot space to achieve a genuinely comfortable ballet fit.
So Danca SD16 Width C Stretch Canvas Ballet Shoes -
Design & Performance
The soft stretch canvas upper adapts closely around the foot, helping minimise folds and excess material while maintaining excellent flexibility. Its split sole construction allows the forefoot and heel to work independently, encouraging natural articulation and strong floor connection throughout class.
A smooth drawstring-free elasticated topline keeps the opening neat and secure, while pre-sewn crossed elastics hold the shoe closely against the foot and make it ready to wear straight from the box. The C width introduces additional space through the forefoot while preserving the SD16's familiar arch-hugging profile.
If the SD16 B feels correct in length but pinches across the metatarsals, compresses the toes or creates excessive tension across the stretch canvas, the C width is usually the better solution. Moving to a wider fitting allows the foot more natural space without creating unnecessary length through the toe or heel.
Available in multiple classic ballet shades, the SD16 C offers the same versatile studio styling as the core SD16 family while providing a more accommodating fit for wider foot shapes.
So Danca SD16 Width C Ballet Shoe Technical Profile
The So Danca SD16 Width C combines stretch canvas, a flexible split sole and a wider forefoot profile to deliver the familiar SD16 performance feel with added room across the metatarsals and toes.
The Dance World Technical Profile provides a quick overview of each ballet shoe's construction, fit characteristics and intended use, making it easy to compare different models at a glance.
So Danca SD16 Width C Shoe DNA
Our Dance World Shoe DNA highlights the five characteristics that define how the So Danca SD16 feels on the foot, helping dancers compare its overall character with other ballet shoes.

The Dance World Shoe DNA compares the defining characteristics of every ballet shoe. A higher score does not necessarily mean a better shoe - it shows the balance of comfort, precision, articulation, support and line so dancers can choose the feel that best suits them.
Dance World Expert Tip
If the SD16 B feels comfortable in length but tight across the toes or metatarsals, try the C width before increasing the shoe size. Extra width allows a broader foot to sit naturally inside the shoe while preserving the correct length, heel placement and clean stretch-canvas fit.
So Danca SD16 Width C Fit Advice
Advanced & Professional Dancers
For a close performance fit, we recommend approximately ½-1 UK size above measured foot length. The SD16 fits slightly smaller, but the C width provides extra room through the forefoot compared with the standard B width.
Growing Students & Adult Beginners
For most dancers, approximately 1-1½ UK sizes above measured foot length provides a comfortable everyday ballet fit while allowing wider feet to sit naturally within the shoe.
First Ballet Shoes & Young Dancers
For first ballet shoes and younger dancers, approximately 1½-2 UK sizes above measured foot length usually provides comfortable growing room while maintaining a secure ballet fit.
Dance World Fit Advice is intended as a helpful starting point rather than a guarantee of fit. For the most accurate fit, always measure the dancer's foot rather than using their everyday shoe size. Foot shape, width and personal preference all influence the ideal fit.
