Always follow the garment’s care label first.

Intermezzo Size & Fit Advice

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.

Dance World Tip

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.

Dance World Measuring Guide

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 Measurement

Using 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 Fit Guidance

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.

Dance World Fit Note Intermezzo size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit may vary depending on body proportions, torso length, garment construction, fabric, stretch and personal preference. If measurements fall between sizes, the larger size is usually the more comfortable starting point.

Intermezzo Henriette Knitted Warm-Up Shorts – Design & Performance

The soft cotton-blend knit has an open texture and a breathable feel. Its flexible construction provides gentle give as you move, while the light fabric adds a comfortable layer over dancewear. Simple knitted edges keep the finish understated and easy to pair with your existing studio wardrobe.

A high waist brings coverage above the hips and sits neatly over your leotard. The straightforward pull-on shape makes Henriette easy to add before class, with a comfortable fit through the hips and a relaxed finish around the leg openings.

The short leg length leaves the knees and lower legs visible for barre work and warm-up exercises. The easy leg openings give the upper thighs room to move, while the compact silhouette pairs naturally with a cropped sweater or ballet wrap.
