How to Measure for a Leotard
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 MeasurementUsing 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 the body to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape close to the body without pulling it tight. The dancer should stand naturally while being measured.
Bust
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. Do not pull the tape too tightly.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.
Height
Stand straight without shoes and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
For leotards, girth is one of the most important measurements because it reflects the dancer's full torso length. If your measurements fall across different sizes, pay particular attention to girth. Dancers with a longer torso will often be more comfortable in the larger size.

Description
Description
The Diamant VIBE 227 SpinPoint Dance Sneaker is a sleek, understated option for dancers who want the comfort of a trainer without the sticky floor response of an everyday sneaker. Soft grey suede, lightweight construction and dual SpinPoints make it particularly useful for social dancing, workshops and long Ballroom or Latin practice sessions.
Diamant VIBE 227 Practice Shoe Personality
Clean • Lightweight • Smooth • Quietly Technical
VIBE is one of those shoes that doesn't need to shout about what it can do. The Light Grey Suede keeps the look modern and easy to wear, while the low sneaker profile feels relaxed enough for workshops and social nights. Underneath, though, there's some very deliberate dance engineering going on.
Design & Performance
The heart of VIBE is its full PU dance sole with dual SpinPoints. Positioned beneath the heel and forefoot, these dedicated pivot zones help the shoe rotate more freely through turns and changes of direction while retaining enough surrounding grip for controlled movement. Diamant designed the outsole specifically to give dancers a smoother turning response than an ordinary trainer.
The upper is made from soft light-grey suede, giving the shoe a supple, premium feel that gradually adapts more closely to the foot with wear. Inside, a breathable Italian microfibre lining helps manage heat and moisture during longer sessions, while the traditional six-hole lacing gives plenty of control over the fit through the instep.
Underfoot, the low 1.5 cm shock-absorbing heel adds cushioning without creating the elevated feel of a traditional Ballroom shoe. The result is reassuringly grounded and easy to wear for long periods - particularly appealing for dancers who spend more time practising or social dancing than performing in formal competition footwear.
VIBE feels sporty, but not overly athletic. It's a nice middle ground for dancers who want a clean sneaker silhouette, proper turning capability and enough structure to feel secure through travelling steps, pivots and repeated choreography.

The Dance World Practice Shoe DNA compares the defining characteristics of practice and social dance shoes. A higher score does not necessarily mean a better shoe - it shows the balance of comfort, stability, flexibility, floor control and support so dancers can choose the feel that best suits their dancing.
Dance World Notes
A very good choice if you hate sticky trainers.
The SpinPoints are the star here. They give VIBE the easy rotation an ordinary sneaker usually lacks, especially through repeated turns and pivots.
Men's option - but technically unisex.
We particularly like VIBE in our men's range because the clean grey sneaker shape is easy to wear, but Diamant actually builds it on a regular unisex G-width fit.
VIBE or BEAT?
BEAT is the plusher Nappa-leather option with noticeably generous padding. VIBE feels a little more understated and sporty in soft suede. Both use Diamant's SpinPoint concept, so the choice is really about upper feel and style.
