Size & Fit Advice

Start with your usual Ballet Rosa size, comparing your waist and hip measurements. Nobu is designed to drape softly through the hips and upper thighs.

The waistband should sit comfortably without digging in, and the leg openings should remain relaxed when you sit, bend or raise a knee. Use the drawstring to fine-tune the waist after settling the shorts over your intended base layer.

If your waist and hip measurements suggest different sizes, prioritise comfortable room through the hips and seat. If you are between sizes or prefer more layering room, consider the larger size.

Care information

To keep your Ballet Rosa NOBU Dance Shorts looking and feeling their best, treat them with the same care you give your favorite studio pieces. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners to preserve the softness of the bamboo fabric. Lay flat or hang to dry to maintain the shape and elasticity of the waistband. If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side.

Ballet Rosa Size & Fit Advice

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.

Dance World Tip

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.

Dance World Measuring Guide

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 Measurement

Using 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 Fit Guidance

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.

Dance World Fit Note Ballet Rosa size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit may vary depending on body proportions, torso length, garment design, fabric, stretch, lining and personal preference. Where an individual Ballet Rosa style carries its own sizing recommendation, use that model-specific advice alongside this chart.

Description

Room to Move, from Barre to Beyond

The Ballet Rosa Nobu Bamboo Dance Shorts bring soft, lightweight comfort to ballet warm-ups, Pilates and everyday wear. A wide drawstring waistband, relaxed leg shape and sporty side slits make these shorts easy to layer over a leotard or pair with your favourite Bamboo top.

Ballet Rosa Nobu Bamboo Dance Shorts – Design & Performance

A wide waistband with a centre-front drawstring gives Nobu a defined waist and an adjustable fit. The fabric falls softly from beneath the band, creating an easy drape through the hips and upper thighs. Adjust the tie for a comfortable hold while leaving the body of the shorts relaxed.

Curved hems and triangular side slits give the short silhouette its sporty character. The openings allow the hem more room to move as the legs separate, a useful detail during pliés, lunges and gentle stretching. Their rounded shape also softens the line across the upper thigh.

Made from 90% rayon derived from bamboo and 10% elastane, Nobu combines a smooth, breathable jersey with supple stretch. The lightweight fabric sits comfortably over a leotard or fitted base, adding a soft layer around the hips without much bulk.

Why Dancers Love Nobu

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

Studio Experience

Nobu’s appeal becomes clear as you move from standing into a plié or seated stretch: the waistband provides a settled point at the waist while the softer leg fabric can move around the thighs. The side slits give the hems room to open as your legs separate. When correctly fitted, the shorts should drape easily through the seat and return to a comfortable resting position without needing to be pulled down after every movement.

Ballet Rosa Bamboo – A Wardrobe That Works Together

Within Ballet Rosa’s Bamboo collection, Nobu provides an easy foundation for the range’s softly shaped tops and warm-up layers. Pair the broad waistband with the gathered front of Ichika, or add the Ren cropped hoodie for a relaxed outfit before and after class. The combination of fluid fabric and sporty details gives these pieces a natural place in both a dance bag and an everyday wardrobe.

Product Highlight

✦ The Easy Pairing Piece

Nobu is a useful starting point for a comfortable studio outfit: soft enough for a quiet morning, light enough for warm-ups and simple to pair with a leotard or cropped top. The broad waistband gives the look definition, while the curved legs keep it relaxed.

A wide adjustable waistband and softly curved, split hems give Nobu its distinctive balance of shape and freedom.

Dance World Tip

Choose the size for comfortable room through the hips and seat, then use the drawstring to refine the waist. For Pilates or floorwork, try a seated stretch and leg lift with your chosen base layer to check how the short hems and side openings sit as you move.
