Size & Fit Advice

These shorts are designed with a relaxed, easy silhouette that layers comfortably over a leotard and tights. The elastic waistband sits securely at the waist without digging in, allowing full freedom through pliés, extensions, and floor work. Dancers who prefer a closer, streamlined warm-up look may choose their regular size, while those wanting a slightly roomier rehearsal feel can consider sizing up.

Materials & Construction

Composition: 100% Polyamide
Feel: Smooth, breathable, and gently structured for warmth without bulk

Made from 100% polyamide, the fabric is lightweight, smooth, and breathable while still offering gentle heat retention to help keep muscles warm. It has a soft, slightly structured feel that holds shape without stiffness, making it ideal for warm-ups, rehearsals, and between-class layering in the studio.

Care information

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric’s lightweight structure and heat-retention qualities. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Lay flat or hang to dry, do not tumble dry or iron, to maintain the fit, elasticity, and smooth finish dancers rely on.

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.

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.
