Leotards & Unitards — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a leotard and a unitard?

A leotard covers the torso and snaps or sits at the crotch, leaving the legs exposed. A unitard extends to cover the legs as well, often to the ankle. Unitards are popular for contemporary and lyrical dance, while leotards are standard for ballet and jazz classes.

How do I size a dance leotard in Australia?

Leotard sizing varies by brand. Measure your chest, waist, and hip circumference and compare to the brand's individual size chart. For children, age-based sizing is approximate — always cross-check with body measurements. Leotards should fit snugly without restricting movement or pulling at the crotch.

What fabrics are best for dance leotards?

High-quality leotards are made from nylon-spandex or polyester-spandex blends that offer stretch, shape retention, and moisture management. Velvet leotards add a premium aesthetic for performances and competitions. Avoid fabrics with low elastane content as they restrict movement and lose shape quickly.

Are your leotards suitable for ballet examinations?

Many of our leotards meet the colour and style requirements of major Australian dance syllabuses including RAD and CSTD. Check with your teacher for the specific colour and style required for your exam. We stock leotards in classic exam colours such as royal blue, burgundy, and black.

Can leotards be machine washed?

Most leotards can be machine washed on a gentle, cold cycle. Turn them inside out and use a laundry bag to protect the fabric and any decorative details. Avoid tumble drying. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and elasticity.

Do you stock leotards for adults and plus sizes?

Yes. Total Dance Australia stocks leotards in adult sizes across a broad range. Some brands extend into plus sizes. Check the individual product listings for available sizes or contact us if you need assistance finding a specific fit.
