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.

So Danca Children's Garments Size Chart
Children's ages are shown as a guide only. For the most reliable fit, compare the child's chest, waist, hips and girth measurements with the chart.
| Size | Chest inch |
Waist inch |
Hips inch |
Girth inch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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" |
| Size 2 Age 8–10 |
25" – 28" | 20" – 21" | 26" – 28" | 43" – 45" |
| Size 2A Age 12–14 |
28" – 31" | 21" – 22" | 28" – 30" | 46" – 48" |
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.

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.
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.

Description
Description
Soft, secure and exceptionally easy to move in, the So Danca JZE45 Uni-Flex Jazz Shoe combines the feel of a traditional leather jazz shoe with a highly flexible stretch middle. Its close-fitting shape follows the foot beautifully, while the split rubber sole provides the controlled grip dancers need for turns, jumps and travelling movement.
A particularly versatile choice for regular jazz, musical theatre and intensive training, JZE45 gives dancers plenty of articulation without sacrificing that reassuringly secure feeling around the heel.
Personality
Secure • Articulated • Versatile • Performance-Ready
Available in three classic dance shades, JZE45 moves easily between studio and stage. Black is the traditional choice for jazz class and professional training, while Tan and Caramel create warmer, more continuous leg lines for performance and musical theatre. If you're buying for a dance school or college, always check their required shoe colour before ordering.
So Danca JZE45 Jazz Shoes – Design & Performance
The JZE45 Uni-Flex combines a soft leather upper with a pre-arched nylon-spandex middle, allowing the shoe to sit closely around the foot while stretching naturally through the arch and instep. The result is a streamlined jazz silhouette with very little unnecessary bulk beneath the foot.
Its low-cut profile keeps the ankle visually open, while the flexible middle section helps the shoe follow the arch as the foot points. This construction also makes JZE45 particularly adaptable through the instep and a useful option for dancers who find more traditionally shaped jazz shoes restrictive across the foot.
Underneath, separate rubber forefoot and heel pads create the split sole. The flexible area between them allows excellent articulation, while the textured rubber contact points provide controlled traction for turns, jumps and quick changes of direction.
One of the JZE45's strongest features is its close heel construction. Designed to hold securely around the back of the foot, it helps reduce unwanted heel movement during turns and landings while preserving the light, flexible character of the shoe.

Dance World’s descriptive scores help compare models within our jazz shoe range. Comfort, grip and floor feel can vary with the dancer, fit, floor surface and sole wear.
Dance World Notes
Heel fit is the standout: The back of the shoe holds particularly securely, which is valuable in a very flexible slip-on where excess heel movement can otherwise become noticeable.
Studio-to-stage versatility: With Black, Tan and Caramel available, JZE45 works particularly well for dancers moving between weekly training, musical theatre, auditions and performance.
Dance World Tip - Try your jazz shoes with what you'll actually dance in. Socks, bare feet and different dance tights can subtly change the fit. When possible, fit the JZE45 wearing the same tights or socks you expect to use for class or performance.
So Danca JZE45 – Dance World Fit Advice
Our sizing recommendations provide a starting point for choosing a size, rather than a guarantee of fit. Foot length, width, instep shape and preferred feel can all affect how the JZE45 fits.
Before Choosing Your Size
The recommendations below start from the dancer’s measured UK foot size.
Adults & Students
For adult beginners, students and experienced dancers, consider trying the measured UK foot size or approximately ½ UK size above as a starting point. Aim for a close, comfortable fit with naturally positioned toes. The heel should remain secure when moving, without needing to curl or grip with the toes to keep the shoe on. A close fit should not cause pain or pinching.
Children & Growing Dancers
Our suggested starting range is approximately ½–1 UK size above the measured UK foot size, followed by a careful fit check. Do not add further growing room automatically. Any extra room should still allow natural toe positioning and a secure heel, without excessive movement or bunching inside the shoe.
JZE45 Fit Note
The flexible middle section allows the shoe to adapt around the arch and instep, but it should not be relied on to correct an unsuitable length or width.
The close heel construction is designed to help hold the back of the foot. Check the actual heel fit when trying your chosen size.
Leather may soften with wear, but comfortable toe positioning should be possible from the first fitting. Try the shoes as you intend to wear them for dancing, including your usual tights or socks.
If the forefoot feels restricted despite suitable length, contact us for help comparing fittings or models.
Fit advice is a guide only. Foot shape, width and preferred performance fit can affect the best size for each dancer.
