So Danca TA32 Front-Tie Tap Shoes

Size & Fit Advice

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.

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"

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.

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.

Best For: Adult Beginners • Developing Students • Weekly Tap Classes • Dance Schools • Examinations • Early Performances

Description

The So Danca TA32 Front-Tie Tap Shoes bring a lighter, more feminine shape to traditional beginner footwear. The open instep creates a neat dance-school look, while the short lace-up front allows the fit to be adjusted securely without the more enclosed feeling of an Oxford shoe.

Finished in classic Black, the TA32 is a lovely choice for adult beginners, developing students, weekly tap classes and early performances. Its supportive full sole helps dancers feel steady underfoot, while the leather base introduces a smoother floor feel and clearer sound as technique begins to progress.

So Danca TA32 Front-Tie Tap Shoes – Personality

Open Instep • Neat Front Tie • Streamlined Black • Feminine Class Style

The Graceful First Rhythm

Neat, understated and slightly more delicate than a closed lace-up tap shoe, the TA32 has a distinctive open-instep shape that feels naturally at home in a dance studio. The rounded toe keeps the silhouette traditional, while the short front tie adds a charming finishing detail without making the shoe appear heavy.

The classic Black finish works easily with tap uniforms, examination clothing and performance costumes. Its open shape also creates a softer line across the foot, making the TA32 an appealing alternative for dancers who prefer something lighter-looking than a traditional Oxford.

So Danca TA32 Tap Shoes – Design & Performance

The smooth vegan synthetic upper curves around the toe and sides of the foot while leaving the centre of the instep open. A two-eyelet front tie allows simple adjustment across the upper foot, helping the shoe remain securely connected without needing a full lace-up vamp.

The TA32 has a relatively shallow profile, making it particularly well suited to slimmer or lower-volume feet. Soft binding around the opening creates a neat finish, while the cushioned textile interior helps soften the feel of regular classes and repeated practice.

Underfoot, the genuine leather full sole provides the structured base many dancers appreciate during early tap training. Compared with a rubber sole, leather allows smoother contact with the studio floor and supports a clearer response from the taps, while the low block heel helps maintain a stable and manageable position.

Riveted aluminium toe and heel taps arrive securely attached and ready for class. Their crisp, consistent response allows dancers to hear developing rhythms clearly without introducing the weight or powerful projection of a professional double-sole shoe.

Dance World Tap Shoe DNA™ compares the defining characteristics of each tap shoe. A higher score does not necessarily mean a better shoe - it shows how strongly each characteristic is expressed.

Dance World Notes

A Lighter Take on the Beginner Tap Shoe

Why It Works: The open instep gives the TA32 a lighter appearance while the structured full sole continues to provide the resistance and stability useful during early tap training.

Sound Character: The genuine leather sole supports a crisp, slightly more open response than a basic rubber-soled beginner shoe, helping dancers hear developing rhythms clearly.

Dance World Tip: Tie the laces securely so the sides remain connected to the foot without pulling tightly across the instep. Leather soles feel smoother than rubber, so begin with controlled movements on a suitable tap floor while becoming familiar with the different floor feel.
