So Danca TA815 Professional Leather Tap Shoes

Size & Fit Advice

So Danca sizing varies by garment and product category. For dancewear, use body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For shoes, use measured foot length as your starting point and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Size 0 Age 4–6	20" – 22"	18" – 19"	22" – 24"	37" – 39"
Size 1 Age 6–7	22" – 25"	19" – 20"	24" – 26"	40" – 42"

Dance World Tip

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.

Adult Tights

So Danca Adult Tights Size Chart

So Danca tights are sized using a combination of height and weight. If you fall between two sizes, consider both measurements together rather than relying on height alone.

L/XL	5.2 – 6.0	1.57 – 1.82	115 – 170	52 – 80
XXL	5.6 – 6.2	1.67 – 1.87	145 – 180	66 – 85

Before Choosing Your Size

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.

Bust / Chest 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.

Hips Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

Girth Start at one shoulder, measure down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back to the same shoulder in one continuous loop.

Foot Length Measure from heel to longest toe while standing. Measure both feet and use the longer measurement.

So Danca Fit Guidance

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.

Dance World Fit Note So Danca size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit can vary depending on body proportions, garment design, fabric, stretch, shoe construction, width and personal preference. Where an individual product carries its own sizing recommendation, that model-specific advice should take priority.

Best For: Advanced Tap Training • Professional Dancers • Stage Performance • Auditions • Choreography • Sound Development

Description

As tap dancers progress, their shoes need to do more than produce a clear sound. A professional shoe provides greater weight, resistance and resonance, giving the dancer more control over tone, volume and musical expression. The So Danca TA815 Professional Tap Shoes are designed for advanced dancers ready to move beyond the lighter, simpler construction of a beginner tap shoe.

Premium leather, a double-layer leather sole and solid wood heel create a deeper, fuller sound with stronger projection across the studio or stage. Large pre-attached metal taps support confident rhythm work, while cushioned ankle support helps balance the shoe’s more substantial professional construction during demanding rehearsals, auditions and performances.

So Danca TA815 Professional Tap Shoes – Personality

Professional Resonance • Double Leather Sole • Solid Wood Heel • Stage-Level Projection

The Heartbeat of Professional Tap

Substantial, expressive and unapologetically performance-led, the TA815 is designed for dancers who treat sound as part of the choreography. Its traditional black Oxford profile feels serious and timeless, while the embroidered red heart adds an unexpected flash of personality, a fitting signature for a shoe built around rhythm.

So Danca TA815 Tap Shoes – Design & Performance

The premium leather upper creates a secure professional fit and gradually softens around the foot with wear. A classic lace-up Oxford front allows close adjustment across the instep, keeping the shoe connected to the foot during fast directional changes and rhythmically complex combinations.

Underneath, the double leather sole provides the resistance and density associated with professional tap footwear. This more substantial base transfers energy into the floor differently from a lightweight beginner shoe, producing greater tonal depth while giving experienced dancers a broader sound palette to control.

A solid wood heel adds further resonance, stability and definition to heel work. Large pre-attached metal toe and heel taps deliver a powerful, consistent response, while the leather sole surface supports controlled movement across the floor. Cushioned textile lining and padded ankle support soften the feel around the foot during extended rehearsals without taking away from the shoe’s traditional professional construction.

Dance World Notes

Built to Become Part of the Dancer’s Sound

Why It Works: The double leather sole and solid wood heel create a dense, stable platform that transfers more energy into the floor, giving advanced dancers greater tonal depth and a wider range of sound to work with.

Sound Character: Strong, full-bodied and resonant. The TA815 is designed for projection, with noticeably more depth and authority than a lightweight beginner or single-sole tap shoe.

Training Value: The substantial build requires developed foot and ankle strength. In return, it gives experienced dancers the resistance needed to refine articulation, dynamics and musical control.

Breaking Them In: Expect the double leather sole to feel firm at first. The upper will soften and shape around the foot, while the sole becomes more responsive as the dancer works through it.

Dance World Tip: Professional tap shoes can sound different across wood, vinyl and sprung studio floors. Allow time to explore the TA815’s tonal range rather than judging the sound from a single surface. Try them on clean carpet only, as scratched or floor-worn taps cannot be accepted for return.
