Ballet Dancewear Australia

Ballet dancewear Australia dancers actually rely on, from first soft shoes through to pointe work and performance. Every level of training is covered here.

Ballet Shoes for Every Stage

Choosing the right ballet shoe depends on age, foot shape and training level. A few things to know before you buy:

• Canvas split-sole shoes are popular in senior classes. The Hanami Canvas Split-Sole Adult fits close to the foot and shows clean lines through the arch.
• Leather full-sole shoes suit younger students. The Lily Full-Sole Leather Child provides the resistance young feet need to develop strength.
• Leather split-sole options like the Hanami Leather Adult offer durability for dancers training frequently.
• Ballet shoes size differently to street shoes. Size down by at least one full size as a starting point, then go from there.

Tights and Accessories

The right tights make a real difference to comfort and appearance at the barre.

• The Embrace Convertible Child Tights work for ballet and acro. The foot hole converts for bare-foot work.
• Convertible tights are the most practical choice for students who train across multiple disciplines.
• Wide Pointe Shoe Elastic gives a secure fit across the foot. It sits flat and does not cut in during class.

Sizing Tips for Parents

Getting the fit right saves a return trip.

• Measure your child's foot length in centimetres before checking the size chart.
• Ballet shoes should feel snug with no excess material at the toe.
• Tights sized by height and weight give the best fit. Check the product size guide for each brand.
• If your dancer is between sizes in tights, size up for comfort over a long class.

For Serious Students

Dancers progressing toward pointe work need accessories that support that transition. Wide pointe shoe elastic and quality canvas or leather ballet shoes build the habits that carry into higher training. Stock up on spares. Ballet shoes wear quickly with regular classes.
