General Size Advice for So Danca Dancewear
-
Girth is the Most Important Measurement
When selecting dancewear, the most relevant measurement is the girth (also known as torso length). To measure accurately, start at one shoulder, pass the tape measure through the legs, and bring it back to the same shoulder. This ensures the best fit for leotards and unitards. -
Size Up if in Doubt
If you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. A snug fit is essential, but dancewear should allow for flexibility and movement without restriction. -
Fabric Differences Affect Fit
- Lace leotards tend to have a smaller fit due to the fabric’s reduced elasticity. If you are considering a lace leotard, you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
- Tulle leotards offer a bit more stretch, making them slightly more forgiving in terms of sizing.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure the best fit and comfort for your dancewear. If you need further assistance, reach out for personalized advice.

Description
Description
The So Danca BAE24 Essential Ballet Shoes prove that a great ballet shoe doesn't have to be complicated. Built around a traditional full sole construction and durable cotton canvas upper, the BAE24 delivers dependable comfort and gentle resistance that helps dancers build strength while learning correct classical technique.
Unlike modern stretch canvas shoes, the BAE24 uses a classic woven canvas that keeps its shape throughout training. While it won't stretch or mould around the foot in the same way as stretch fabrics, many dancers and teachers appreciate the consistent fit, durability and traditional feel. Combined with a soft cotton lining and adjustable cotton drawstring, it remains one of the best-value ballet shoes for everyday studio training.
So Danca BAE24 Ballet Shoe Personality
Traditional • Reliable • Practical • Great Value
The BAE24 is designed for dancers who want a dependable ballet shoe that simply gets the job done. Its classic construction provides reassuring support, while the durable canvas upper stands up well to regular training. Rather than chasing the latest innovations, the BAE24 focuses on the essentials - comfort, reliability and long-lasting everyday performance.
Design & Performance
The durable cotton canvas upper offers a soft, breathable feel while maintaining its shape throughout regular use. Unlike stretch canvas, the fabric provides a more traditional fit that stays consistent from class to class, making it a dependable option for dancers who prefer classic ballet slippers. The full suede sole adds gentle resistance under the foot, encouraging strength, stability and controlled technique as dancers progress through class.
An adjustable cotton drawstring allows the fit to be refined around the front of the foot, while the pre-sewn single elastic keeps the shoe secure during movement. Available in Pink, White and Black, the BAE24 is an excellent choice for dancers looking for an affordable, durable and trustworthy ballet shoe that delivers excellent value without compromising on quality.

Dance World Expert Tip
The BAE24 reminds us why traditional canvas ballet shoes have remained popular for generations. The woven cotton canvas keeps its shape throughout training, providing a consistent feel from class to class, while the supportive full sole helps young dancers develop strength, balance and control. If you're looking for a reliable ballet shoe that offers excellent value and dependable everyday performance, the BAE24 is a fantastic choice.
So Danca BAE24 Fit Advice
Advanced & Professional Dancers
Most experienced dancers choose approximately their measured foot size or around ½ UK size above for a close, classical fit.
Growing Students & Adult Beginners
Approximately 1 UK size above measured foot length provides a comfortable everyday ballet fit for most dancers.
First Ballet Shoes & Young Dancers
Approximately 1½–2 UK sizes above measured foot length generally provides comfortable growing room while maintaining a secure ballet fit. As traditional woven canvas does not stretch like modern stretch canvas, choose a size that feels comfortably snug from the beginning rather than expecting the fabric to relax significantly over time.
Dance World Fit Advice is intended as a helpful starting point. For the most accurate fit, always measure the dancer's foot rather than using their everyday shoe size. Foot shape, width and personal preference all influence the ideal fit.
