So Danca TA38 Vegan Velcro 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.

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

Children's Tights

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.

So Danca TA38 Vegan Tap Shoes – Personality

Vegan Choice • Easy Velcro Strap • Classic Mary Jane Style • Lightweight Rhythm

The No-Fuss First Step

Friendly, practical and ready in seconds, the TA38 removes the fuss from getting prepared for tap class. Its smooth black finish and traditional Mary Jane shape look neat with studio clothing and performance costumes, while the simple strap keeps the style relaxed and approachable.

So Danca TA38 Tap Shoes – Design & Performance

The smooth vegan synthetic upper is finished with soft binding around the opening for a comfortable feel against the foot. A wide Velcro strap crosses the instep, allowing the shoe to open easily and fasten securely without needing to tie laces or adjust a buckle.

The flexible vegan full sole provides a supportive base while still allowing enough movement for dancers to lift through the heel and practise early tap technique. Its lightweight construction feels manageable during first shuffles, flaps, toe-and-heel combinations and simple travelling steps.

Riveted aluminium taps are securely attached beneath the toe and heel, producing a crisp, consistent response that helps beginners hear their timing. A low 0.5-inch block heel keeps the dancer close to the floor, creating a stable and accessible feel for weekly training.

Dance World Notes

The Easiest Way to Get Tap-Ready

Why It Works: The Velcro strap opens widely, fastens quickly and holds the shoe securely across the instep. It is ideal for dancers who want fewer adjustments before class or need to change shoes quickly during rehearsals and performances.

Sound Character: Light, crisp and easy to hear. The riveted aluminium taps provide the clear response beginners need without the weight or tonal depth of a professional double-sole shoe.

Who Appreciates It: The TA38 is particularly useful for first-time and recreational dancers, performers managing quick costume changes, and anyone who finds laces or small buckles inconvenient.

Dance World Tip: Press the Velcro strap firmly into place before every class and keep the fastening free from lint so it maintains a secure hold. Try tap shoes with your class socks or tights on clean carpet only, as scratched or floor-worn taps cannot be accepted for return.
