General Size Advice for Capezio 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
The Capezio Hanami Ballet Shoes have become one of the world's most recognised stretch canvas ballet shoes, celebrated for their beautifully natural feel and innovative seamless construction. Combining premium 4-way stretch canvas with Capezio's patented diamond gusset, Hanami creates an exceptionally smooth fit that moves effortlessly with the foot from the very first class.
Lightweight, responsive and remarkably flexible, Hanami allows dancers to experience outstanding freedom of movement while maintaining the clean, sculpted appearance expected from a professional ballet shoe. Its low-profile design sits beautifully against the foot, creating elegant lines with almost no excess fabric.
Capezio Hanami Ballet Shoe Personality
Adaptive • Barefoot • Fluid • Iconic
The Capezio Hanami is designed to disappear on the foot. Its seamless construction, exceptionally soft stretch canvas and naturally low profile create one of the closest barefoot sensations available in a ballet shoe, allowing dancers to focus entirely on movement rather than the shoe itself.
Design & Performance
The premium 4-way stretch canvas upper gently adapts to the natural shape of the foot, while Capezio's patented seamless diamond gusset eliminates bulk beneath the arch for an exceptionally smooth, sculpted fit. Combined with the lightweight split sole, Hanami encourages unrestricted articulation, effortless floor connection and beautifully clean ballet lines throughout every class.
Available in Light Pink, Hanami blends beautifully with ballet tights to create a continuous leg line from hip to toe. Its naturally low-profile silhouette sits close to the foot with very little excess fabric, making it a favourite for dancers who appreciate elegant aesthetics alongside exceptional technical performance.

The Dance World Shoe DNA compares the defining characteristics of every ballet shoe. A higher score does not necessarily mean a better shoe - it shows the balance of comfort, precision, articulation, support and line so dancers can choose the feel that best suits them.
Dance World Expert Tip
Hanami is designed to fit like a second skin rather than a traditional ballet shoe. The 4-way stretch canvas and patented seamless diamond gusset work best when the shoe sits close to the foot, allowing the fabric to move naturally without excess material around the arch or toes. Resist the temptation to size up too much, the closer the fit, the better Hanami performs.
Capezio Hanami Fit Advice
Advanced & Professional Dancers
Many experienced dancers prefer a close performance fit, choosing approximately their measured foot size or around ½ UK size above, depending on personal preference.
Growing Students & Adult Beginners
For most dancers, approximately 1 UK size above measured foot length provides a comfortable everyday ballet fit while maintaining Hanami's signature second-skin feel.
First Ballet Shoes & Young Dancers
For first ballet shoes and younger dancers, approximately 1½–2 UK sizes above measured foot length usually provides comfortable growing room while maintaining a secure ballet fit.
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.
