With free shipping available across Australia, there's no additional cost to enjoy the convenience of having your dancewear delivered straight to your door.

Featured Pieces from the Total Dance Collection
Our range covers everything a dancer needs from warm-up through to performance. Below are some standout styles that have become firm favourites with dance students and their families across Australia.
Leotards for Every Level
A well-fitted leotard is the foundation of any dancer's wardrobe. The Amanda Thin Strap Panel Front Leotard, available in both Child and Adult sizing, features a flattering panel design that moves beautifully with the body. It's a versatile style that suits ballet and contemporary classes equally well.
For something with a luxurious feel, the Aurora Velvet Leotard delivers rich texture and elegant drape, making it a popular choice for performances and showcases. And the Byanca Mesh Panel Dance Leotard brings a modern edge with mesh detailing that adds dimension without compromising comfort.
Crop Tops and Layering Pieces
The right crop top gives dancers freedom of movement while keeping a polished look in the studio. The Amity Dance Crop Top is a clean, classic style that pairs effortlessly with shorts or leggings. For a touch more personality, the Aura Tie Crop Top features a tied front detail that adds style to any rehearsal outfit. Both are made to the same Australian standards as our full garment range.
Skirts and Wraps
Adding a skirt to a class look is one of the easiest ways to create an elegant, put-together silhouette. The Adele Mesh Skirt is a beautiful flowing style that's ideal for lyrical and contemporary dancers. Our Mastery Dance Skirt is another strong option for those who want a structured shape with graceful movement.
For RAD students, the RAD Regulation Character Skirt Child & Adult meets examination requirements exactly. And for those who love a classic ballet aesthetic, the Julietta Chiffon Circle Skirt and Georgette Pull-On Ballet Wrap Skirt both offer timeless elegance.
Warm-Up Jackets
Protecting muscles before class and during cool-down is essential for any serious dancer. The Academy Jacket is a well-loved staple in our range, offering a flattering fit, practical zip-through design and enough coverage to keep the body warm between exercises. It's the kind of piece that goes on before the first plié and stays on until the last stretch of the day.

Tips for Getting the Right Size First Time
- Always refer to the size guide on each product page rather than assuming standard sizing translates across styles.
- For leotards, measure your child's height, weight and chest, as these three measurements together give the most accurate result.
- If your dancer is between sizes, consider which style of garment it is. For structured pieces like the Amanda Thin Strap Panel Front Leotard, sizing up is usually more comfortable. For wrap skirts and crop tops, the fit is more forgiving.
- Check whether the item is available in both Child and Adult sizing, as the adult range often starts from a smaller size than you might expect.
Completing Your Dancer's Kit
While you're shopping, it's worth picking up a few essentials alongside your key pieces. Our accessories range includes everything from the Sprinkle Paint Scrunchie, Coral Coast Scrunchie and Luna Scrunchie for bun-day styling, to the Legacy Tote Bag and Duffle Dance Bag for carrying everything to and from the studio. The Ripple Pins 50 Pack 4.5cm Black and Ripple Pins 50 Pack 4.5cm Brown are perennial sell-outs, so it's always smart to grab a pack while you're ordering.
For younger dancers or gift ideas, the Ballerina Keyring and Sign Me Bear make thoughtful additions to any order. Our team of dance educators and contributors regularly share tips on building a well-rounded dance kit, so be sure to explore the blog for more inspiration.
Quality You Can Trust, Made in Australia
Every piece in the Total Dance Australian-made range reflects our commitment to quality construction, considered design and durability. We know that dancewear takes a beating across the week. Classes, rehearsals, exams, performances and everything in between. That's why we invest in fabrics and finishes that hold their shape and colour wash after wash.
Our leotards, crop tops, skirts and jackets are all designed with the realities of dance school life in mind. Mums tell us regularly that they appreciate not having to replace pieces mid-season, and teachers value that students look consistent and professional in well-made garments. That feedback shapes how we develop every new style we bring to the range.
Ordering online means you can take your time to compare styles, revisit the size guide and make considered choices, rather than feeling rushed in a shop. And with free shipping across Australia, shopping from a regional area or smaller town is just as accessible as shopping in a major city.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is shipping really free on all Total Dance orders in Australia?
Free shipping is available on eligible orders placed at totaldance.com.au and delivered within Australia. Check the current shipping details at checkout, as conditions may apply based on order value. The free shipping offer applies automatically, so there's no code required.
How long does delivery take after I place my order?
We aim to dispatch orders as quickly as possible. Delivery timeframes vary depending on your location within Australia, but most metropolitan areas receive their orders within a few business days. Rural and regional areas may take a little longer. You'll receive tracking information once your order has been dispatched so you can follow its progress.
Can I order both Child and Adult sizes in the same order?
Absolutely. Many dance families shop for multiple dancers in one order, mixing Child and Adult sizes across different styles. The Amanda Thin Strap Panel Front Leotard, for example, is available in both Child and Adult sizing, making it easy to match styles across age groups within the same studio or family.
What if the piece I ordered doesn't fit?
We recommend reviewing the size guide on each product page before ordering to minimise the chance of an ill-fitting piece arriving. If you do need to exchange a size, refer to the returns and exchanges information available on our website for full details on how to proceed. Our team is always happy to assist if you have questions before or after your purchase.
