What the Capezio Studio Collection Covers
The studio collection spans every major dance discipline. Whether your dancer trains in ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical or contemporary, there is something here built specifically for that style. Capezio does not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each garment and shoe is designed with the demands of that genre in mind.
The range includes:
- Ballet leotards and skirts for recreational and pre-professional students
- Jazz pants, shorts and crop tops suited to studio and stage
- Canvas and leather ballet shoes in full and split sole
- Jazz shoes, tap shoes and contemporary foot thongs
- Dance bags and accessories to complete the kit
If you are comparing canvas versus leather for your ballet student, our detailed guide on choosing between canvas and leather Capezio ballet shoes covers fit, break-in time and longevity side by side.
Sizing Capezio Dancewear for Australian Dancers
Capezio sizing follows US conventions, so Australian shoppers need to check the size chart before ordering. For leotards, Capezio uses age-based sizing in the children's range, but fit depends heavily on the child's height and torso length, not age alone. A tall nine-year-old may fit a Child Large. A petite twelve-year-old may still wear a Child Medium comfortably.
Leotard Fit Tips
- Measure height and chest circumference first
- Cross-reference both measurements with the Capezio size chart, not just one
- Capezio leotards are cut for a snug fit. If your dancer is between sizes, size up
- Adult sizing runs XS through XL and suits dancers aged approximately 14 and over
Shoe Sizing Tips
- Capezio ballet shoes size down from street shoes. Order half to one full size smaller as a starting point
- Canvas shoes mould to the foot faster than leather. Good for beginners and younger students
- Split sole designs suit dancers with stronger arches who need to see a clear line through the foot
- Full sole ballet shoes are generally recommended for beginner students building foot strength
For a thorough breakdown of shoe styles by level and discipline, the Capezio ballet and jazz shoe guide for Australian and New Zealand dancers covers what to look for at each stage of training.
What Makes Capezio a Studio Favourite
Capezio has survived and remained relevant because the products perform under real studio conditions. The construction is built for repetitive movement. Seams sit away from pressure points. Fabrics hold their shape through class after class and wash after wash.
Teachers recommend Capezio because they know what happens when a shoe falls apart mid-class or a leotard stretches out after three washes. Consistent quality means fewer replacements and less disruption to training.
The colour range across leotards is broad enough to meet most studio uniform requirements. Classic black, blush pink, deep navy and burgundy all appear throughout the collection. If your studio specifies a colour, check the product listings for the available options before ordering.
Free Shipping and Ordering in Australia
Total Dance offers free shipping Australia-wide on qualifying orders. Orders are dispatched promptly and tracked, so you know exactly where your parcel is. This matters particularly for dancers preparing for exams or performances with fixed dates.
If you are shopping for a student based in New Zealand, the Capezio fit guide written specifically for NZ dancers addresses shipping, sizing and style differences that apply across the Tasman.
Stock levels on popular sizes move quickly around exam season. If your dancer needs a specific shoe size or leotard colour for a studio uniform, ordering ahead of that window avoids disappointment.
