Intermezzo dancewear is designed for a close, streamlined dance fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For leotards and other one-piece garments, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso.
Intermezzo Ladies Garments Size Chart
Compare chest, waist, hips and girth to find your recommended Intermezzo women's dancewear size.
| Size | Chest | Waist | Hips | Girth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 76–81 cm 30–32" | 56–63 cm 22–26" | 84–89 cm 33–35" | 132–140 cm 52–55" |
| S | 82–87 cm 32–34" | 62–69 cm 24–27" | 89–94 cm 35–37" | 140–148 cm 55–58" |
| M | 88–91 cm 34–36" | 68–73 cm 26–29" | 94–99 cm 37–39" | 148–155 cm 58–61" |
| L | 92–98 cm 36–38" | 72–79 cm 28–31" | 99–105 cm 39–41" | 156–160 cm 61–63" |
| XL | 99–105 cm 38–42" | 78–87 cm 30–34" | 105–110 cm 41–43" | 159–165 cm 62–65" |
For Intermezzo leotards, prioritise girth if your measurements point to different sizes. A dancer may fit one size through the chest and waist but need the next size for comfortable torso length. If you are between sizes, the larger size is usually the better starting point.
How to Measure for Intermezzo Dancewear
Measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.

Girth
Key MeasurementUsing a flexible tape measure, start at the centre of one shoulder. Bring the tape down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. For Intermezzo leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is not part of Intermezzo's women's garment size table, but it is useful when considering overall proportions and whether a dancer may need more length through the torso.
Intermezzo women's dancewear runs from XS through XL in the brand's main size guide, although individual styles may be offered in a smaller size range. Leotards should fit closely without restricting movement. Designs using lace, flocked tulle, mesh or structured neckline details can feel slightly different from simpler stretch styles, so use girth as the main reference and follow any product-specific Dance World fit advice where provided.

A Little Swish, Plenty of Freedom
The Intermezzo Adel 5297 ballet warm-up pants are lightweight sauna-effect trousers with pockets, a high roll-down waistband and elastic ankle cuffs. Made from 100% polyester, these classic ballet trash bag pants have a loose, non-restrictive fit that makes them easy to move in for warm-ups, barre and rehearsals.
Intermezzo Adel Ballet Sauna Pants – Design & Performance
Adel has the smooth, liner-like finish associated with sauna pants, also known as trashbag pants. The non-breathable fabric limits ventilation to help retain heat as you move. In wear, Adel offers light warmth and feels light on the legs, with a gentle swish from the fabric during movement.
The high roll-down waistband lets you vary the rise and coverage around the waist. Below it, the loose cut leaves room through the hips and legs for pliés, bends and warm-up exercises. Elastic ankle cuffs gather the hems neatly around the ankles, giving the relaxed trousers a tapered finish.
And there are practical side pockets: a useful place for small essentials when you are moving between the changing room, studio and rehearsal breaks. Together with the easy pull-on shape, they give Adel an everyday practicality that dancers can appreciate before the music even starts.
Why Dancers Love the Adel Warm-Up Pants
Yes, They Have Pockets
Handy side pockets keep small essentials close between classes and during rehearsal breaks.
Room to Move
The loose cut feels easy through the hips and legs, giving you space to bend and move comfortably.
Wear the Waist Your Way
Keep the waistband high or fold it down to suit your preferred rise and studio look.
Light in Your Dance Bag
Fine polyester folds away easily, ready to pull on over your leotard and tights before the next session.
Intermezzo Adel Warm-Up Pants Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each warm-up layer fits, feels and functions in the studio. This profile reflects the Intermezzo Adel 5297 specifically; individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience – Easy Movement, Light Swish
The appeal at the barre is how light and easy to move in Adel feels. The fabric moves loosely around the legs with a small swish, while the ankle cuffs keep the hems gathered. The pockets are especially welcome in the moments around class: somewhere to rest your hands or keep a small essential close while waiting for the next rehearsal.
Who Are the Adel Ballet Warm-Up Pants Best For?
Adel suits dancers who enjoy lightweight sauna pants with plenty of movement room, like the option of a high or folded waistband, and appreciate pockets in their warm-up wardrobe. They work well as a layer over a leotard and tights for studio preparation and rehearsal breaks. Their non-breathable construction is intended for retaining warmth; dancers seeking more ventilation during sustained practice may prefer breathable trousers.
Product Highlight – Pockets Make the Difference
♡ Pockets for Studio Days
The pockets give Adel a particularly useful place in a dancer's warm-up wardrobe. Combined with the light fabric, easy leg shape and roll-down waist, they make these trousers practical for the little transitions between getting ready, warming up and heading into rehearsal.
Light to wear, easy to move in, and practical between classes.
Dance World Tip: Settle the waistband and cuffs before starting your warm-up, and empty the pockets before floorwork or energetic combinations so the trousers can move freely with you.
