Size & Fit Advice

So Danca sizing varies by garment and product category. For dancewear, use body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible.

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

So Danca tights are sized using a combination of height and weight. If you fall between two sizes, consider both measurements together rather than relying on height alone.

L/XL	5.2 – 6.0	1.57 – 1.82	115 – 170	52 – 80
XXL	5.6 – 6.2	1.67 – 1.87	145 – 180	66 – 85

Children's Tights

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.

Description

The So Danca Métier Dance Trainers are built for dancers who move fast, train hard and need a shoe that can truly keep up. Lightweight, flexible and incredibly comfortable, these split sole dance sneakers are designed to support everything from commercial choreography and jazz classes to studio conditioning, teaching and rehearsals. The breathable mesh upper keeps the shoe feeling cool and light on the foot, while the soft suede overlays add structure without stiffness - giving dancers that secure “held” feeling through turns, jumps and directional changes.

What really makes the Métier stand out in class is the balance between cushioning and freedom of movement. The split sole construction allows the foot to articulate naturally, helping dancers point, flex and move through transitions without feeling restricted. The high arch last creates a beautifully shaped line through the foot, while the compression moulded EVA cushioning absorbs impact during repetitive training. Whether you are spending hours in convention classes, warming up backstage or teaching back-to-back sessions, these trainers are designed to feel supportive without becoming heavy or bulky.

The variable lacing system gives dancers a more personalised fit through the arch, helping the shoe feel stable during quick combinations and floor work. Inside, the removable insole and soft nylon lining create that “wear all day” comfort dancers love - especially during intensive rehearsal periods. The non-marking outsole also makes them studio-friendly across multiple floor types, so you can move confidently from jazz technique to cardio dance sessions without changing shoes.

If you are searching for a professional-quality dance sneaker that combines flexibility, shock absorption and lightweight performance, the So Danca Métier Dance Trainers deliver the comfort dancers crave without sacrificing style or movement. Once dancers try these for class, they quickly become the pair that lives permanently in the dance bag.
