General Size Advice for So Danca Dancewear
-
Girth is the Most Important Measurement
When selecting dancewear, the most relevant measurement is the girth (also known as torso length). To measure accurately, start at one shoulder, pass the tape measure through the legs, and bring it back to the same shoulder. This ensures the best fit for leotards and unitards. -
Size Up if in Doubt
If you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. A snug fit is essential, but dancewear should allow for flexibility and movement without restriction. -
Fabric Differences Affect Fit
- Lace leotards tend to have a smaller fit due to the fabric’s reduced elasticity. If you are considering a lace leotard, you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
- Tulle leotards offer a bit more stretch, making them slightly more forgiving in terms of sizing.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure the best fit and comfort for your dancewear. If you need further assistance, reach out for personalized advice.

So Danca VAL Dance Leotard - Open Back Cross Strap Ballet Leotard
The So Danca VAL Dance Leotard is one of those pieces dancers instantly notice in class. From the front, it keeps things sleek and refined with a softly scooped neckline and clean contour seams that create a beautifully elongated line through the torso. But turn around, and the real statement begins, dramatic crossover straps and carefully placed open-back cut-outs bring a modern edge while still feeling polished and wearable for everyday training.
Designed in So Danca’s signature microfiber, VAL feels smooth, supportive, and comfortably secure through long rehearsals, centre work, and performance prep. The wider straps sit comfortably on the shoulders without digging in, while the open back still feels surprisingly stable thanks to the clever crisscross construction. It’s the kind of leotard dancers reach for when they want something elegant enough for auditions, but comfortable enough for full-day studio wear.
The soft ballet pink shade adds a romantic finish that works beautifully with skirts, warm-ups, and rehearsal layers, especially for dancers who love refined studio styling without overly fussy details.
