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 RO12 Children's Character Shoes are a classic choice for young dancers beginning ballet character work. Designed with a stable low heel, full suede sole and comfortable canvas upper, they give children a secure introduction to dancing in a heeled shoe.
Ideal for dance school uniforms, graded ballet classes and examinations, the RO12 keeps things reassuringly simple: a low manageable heel, supportive full sole and pre-sewn elastic strap that makes the shoes easy for younger dancers to put on and wear.
Designed for Young Character Dancers
Character shoes introduce young ballet students to a different style of movement and footwear. The RO12's 1" / approx. 2.5 cm low heel provides gentle elevation while keeping the dancer close to the floor, helping children feel balanced and secure as they learn.
Underneath, the full soft suede sole provides the traditional floor contact needed for character work while the moderate shank gives useful support beneath the foot. Cushioning through the shoe helps keep it comfortable during classes, rehearsals and examination days.
The strong black canvas upper is lightweight and practical for regular school use, while the wide pre-sewn elastic strap holds the shoe securely across the instep without buckles or complicated fastenings.
Dance World Size Guide is intended as a helpful starting point. Every child's feet are unique, so fit may vary depending on foot shape, width and personal preference.
Not sure whether your dancer needs a low or Cuban heel? Check your dance school's uniform requirements before ordering. If you're unsure about the RO12 sizing, our Dance World team is always happy to help you choose the most suitable size.
