How to Measure Your Dancer
1) Bust: With dancer’s arms relaxed at
sides, measure the fullest part of the
bust/chest, keeping the tape parallel to
the floor.
2) Waist: Measure around your dancer’s
waist, while in underwear or leotard, at the
point where trousers would normally ride.
Keep one finger between the tape and
your body.
3) Hip: Stand with heels together, and
measure around the fullest part of hips,
keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
4) Torso/Girth: Run a tape measure full
circle from shoulder, over the fullest part
of bust, down through the center of crotch
and back up to the starting point. THIS IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT MEASUREMENT!
5) Inseam: The length of the leg from the
crotch to one inch above the floor.
Measure in stocking feet.
