Tips to help you choose the correct garment size

Check the product description for fitting details such as; whether close fitting or loose, small or generous sizing, and follow accordingly. Design elements will influence fit, some garments are designed to be worn loose and others tight.

Use your current street size as a guide. Please be aware that most dancewear is worn firm, you may like to go up a size if extra comfort or growing room is needed.

Energetiks size charts will give a firm fit, if extra comfort or growing room is needed please go up a size.

It is recommended to use your current leotard size when choosing sizes for costumes and tutus. No size charts are available for these.

If unsure of garment sizing, please provide the following information when placing your order, or contact us to discuss over the phone.

• Current regular clothing size.
• Current leotard size.
• Age (if a child), and whether small, average, large, tall or short for their age.
• Do you wish to have growing room or a firm fit.

SHOE FITTING GUIDE

When selecting the right fit for your item please read the information provided in the product description of each product as fit may vary from brand to brand.

How to measure your feet correctly

• Place a piece of paper on a hard floor.
• Place the foot on the paper without pressure (measure sitting down).
• Mark the end of the heel (note the heel is curved and you need to mark the end as per diagram).
• Mark the end of the longest toe.
• Measure between these points with a ruler (not tape measure) in cm.
• If you wish you could trace around the foot and also measure the widest part of the foot.

Remember to measure both feet as they will differ slightly, for a tight fit go by the smallest measurement and stretch the shoe to the larger foot, or for comfort/growing room go by the largest measurement.
