Care information
Danskin tights are sized using a combination of height and weight. Check both measurements rather than choosing from age or everyday clothing size alone. Some Danskin styles use individual sizes, while others use combined sizes, so always match the label on the product page with the correct table below.
Danskin Children's Standard Tights Size Chart
Use this table for Danskin tights offered in Small, Intermediate, Medium and Large.
| Size Code | Danskin Size | Height cm |
Weight kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Small | 101–117 | 17–23 |
| I | Intermediate | 117–129 | 23–28 |
| M | Medium | 129–140 | 28–35 |
| L | Large | 140–152 | 35–43 |
Danskin S/I & M/L Tights Size Chart
Some Danskin tights combine two children's sizes into one broader fit range. Use this table only when the product option is labelled S/I or M/L.
| Combined Size | Includes | Height cm |
Weight kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| S/I | Small / Intermediate | 101–129 | 17–28 |
| M/L | Medium / Large | 129–152 | 28–43 |
Age labels are only approximate. If a child is near the top of a height range, or height and weight suggest different sizes, the larger size will usually provide more comfortable length through the legs and body.
Danskin Adult Standard Tights Size Chart
Use this table for Danskin tights offered in the individual A, B, C and D size system.
| Size Code | Danskin Size | Height cm |
Weight kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Petite | 150–163 | 43–57 |
| B | Small | 155–170 | 50–64 |
| C | Medium | 160–175 | 57–70 |
| D | Large | 163–183 | 61–77 |
Danskin A/B & C/D Tights Size Chart
Use this table for Danskin tights offered in the broader A/B or C/D size system, including selected fishnet and performance styles.
| Combined Size | Includes | Height cm |
Weight kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| A/B | Petite / Small | 150–170 | 43–64 |
| C/D | Medium / Large | 160–183 | 57–79 |
If height places you in one size and weight in another, choose the size that gives enough length first. A size that is too short may pull at the waistband or crotch even when it feels suitable through the legs.
How to Choose Your Danskin Tights Size
Use current measurements and check both height and weight. Do not select from age, dress size or another tights brand alone.
Height
Key MeasurementStand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is especially important for ensuring enough length through the legs and body of the tights.
Weight
Check TogetherUse current body weight together with height to identify the best starting size. Neither measurement should be used entirely on its own.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Waist is not part of Danskin's published height-and-weight chart, but it can help check how the waistband is likely to feel.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. This is a supplementary fit check rather than an official Danskin chart measurement.
Check the Product Size Label
Confirm whether the selected tights use individual sizes such as S, I, M, L or A, B, C, D, or combined sizes such as S/I, M/L, A/B or C/D. Use only the matching table.
Combined sizing covers a broader measurement range and should not be read as one of the individual sizes.
Danskin uses more than one tights size system across its range. Standard children's styles commonly use S / I / M / L, while some styles use S/I / M/L. Standard adult styles may use A / B / C / D, while selected tights use A/B / C/D. Always choose from the table that matches the exact size options shown on the product page.
Selected professional fishnet tights may also be offered in an X-Long option. As the current general Danskin chart does not provide a universal height-and-weight range for X-Long, follow the individual product guidance rather than assigning an estimated measurement.

Description
Description
The Danskin 1331 Ultra Shimmery footed dance tights add a light-catching sheen to jazz, tap, musical theatre and stage costumes. These adult performance tights combine a smooth, stretchy nylon/spandex blend with a fully footed shape that covers the heels and toes. A Coolmax® gusset and a waistband designed to resist rolling bring practical comfort to a pair chosen for its luminous finish.
Danskin 1331 – A Little Shine for Every Step
When shimmer is part of your costume, the right tights help bring the whole outfit together. 1331 has a reflective sheen that catches the light as you move, adding a polished finish beneath stage skirts, shorts and performance leotards. The effect changes with the shade and lighting, so you can enjoy a softer glow in the studio and see how the fabric responds under performance lights.
The nylon/spandex fabric stretches through bends, kicks and changes of direction. A sewn-on waistband designed to resist rolling sits at the waist, while the Coolmax® gusset helps manage moisture in the gusset area. The footed shape continues over the heels and toes, ready to wear inside your dance shoes.
What Are Ultra Shimmery Dance Tights?
Shimmer describes the way the fabric reflects light. Danskin 1331 has a smooth, luminous sheen that adds another detail to your costume as you turn, kick or move across the stage. It gives a different finish from matte ballet tights, making it a useful choice when shine is part of the look your teacher or choreographer has chosen.
Footed describes the shape: the tights enclose the whole foot, including the toes and heel. There is no convertible opening in the sole. If your routine includes barefoot sections or you need regular access to your feet, consider whether a convertible or footless style would suit the choreography better.
Choose 1331 for:
- Jazz and tap performances: A shimmery finish to wear with your costume and dance shoes.
- Musical theatre and stage shows: A light-catching detail alongside character costumes and performance outfits.
- Competitions and group routines: Follow the specified model and colour to help coordinate the group's look.
- Dress rehearsals: Check the tights with the full costume, footwear and lighting before show day.
The Dance World View
We recommend Danskin 1331 when you want the tights to be part of the finished costume. The sheen can bring a simple leotard and skirt together, or complement the detail in a more elaborate stage outfit. Our favourite way to choose is to look at the whole combination: tights, shoes, costume and lighting. That makes it much easier to decide which shade gives the effect you want.
Choosing Your Danskin 1331 Colour and Fit
Light Toast is the lighter tan option, while Toast offers a deeper, warmer tan. Black gives a dark finish with a shimmery sheen. Light Toast and Toast are specific shades rather than a match for every skin tone; compare them with your own colouring and costume. For group performances, use the exact shade your teacher requests.
Available in A – Petite, B – Small, C – Medium and D – Large. Choose using both height and weight against the Danskin adult tights guide. Ease the fabric evenly up each leg so the toes sit naturally, the ankles feel smooth and the waistband rests comfortably.
Danskin 1331 – Your Questions Answered
How shiny are Ultra Shimmery tights?
They have a light-reflecting sheen, with the effect depending on the colour, how the fabric stretches and the lighting. Check your chosen shade with your costume under lighting similar to your performance space.
Can I wear them with jazz or tap shoes?
Yes. The footed design can be worn inside jazz and tap shoes where your costume calls for shimmer tights. Smooth the fabric around the toes and heel before putting on your shoes, then check the combination for comfort.

Product Highlight
The Finishing Touch for a Shimmery Stage Look
Danskin 1331 brings together a luminous sheen, flexible stretch, fully footed coverage and a Coolmax® gusset. Choose Light Toast, Toast or Black to complete a costume that calls for a little extra shine.
Dance World Tip: For a group show, confirm both the style number and colour before ordering. Take a spare pair in the same shade to performances, and keep both pairs away from costume hooks, exposed zips and hairpins.
