A DANCER'S GUIDE

Leotards for Every Body

Find the perfect balance of fit, style and support in every leotard.

Finding the perfect leotard is personal. Some dancers look to elongate the leg line, others prefer to highlight the neckline, while some favour detailed backs or added support and coverage.

That's why our leotards are designed in a range of styles, shapes, and colours to suit every body. At Energetiks, we listen closely to what dancers want and need, creating a Core Collection that offers something for everyone. Many of these silhouettes are also reimagined in our Limited Edition collections for a more elevated finish.

To help you find your perfect fit, we've outlined our most loved cuts and styles so you can feel confident and supported in every movement.

Classic Leg Line:

The search for the perfect leotard can be tricky and it’s often rare to find a leotard cut that suits everyone. However, our Classic Leg Line Leotards looks good on any body - regardless of age, shape or size. As a base fit it sits at a middle height on the leg, accentuating the leg line while simultaneously providing ample coverage front and back.

Due to its popularity it can also be found in a variety of styles and colours to suit dancers of all ages and backgrounds. Some of our most frequently sought after styles include the Charlotte Leotard and the Pippa Leotard.

Low Leg Line:

Perhaps you’ve returned to dancing after having a bit of a break and aren’t ready for a high cut look just yet. Or maybe a lower cut leotard suits your body shape and preferences best. If so, our Low Leg Line Leotards are ideal for you. Designed with the intention to provide more coverage for those who seek it, they come with a generous fit around the behind and across the front providing comfort and support. Allowing you to still show off your technique without showing too much, our low leg line leotards come in a range of colours and designs as well.

Slim Leg Line:

Popular amongst our pre-professional and professional dancers, the Slim Leg Line Leotards have a higher leg line than our regular leotards. Created with the intention to show and accentuate a long leg line, they can make the shortest of legs appear to have extensions for days. Despite being a higher cut than some of our other leotard styles, they still provide suitable coverage for those who are slightly more modest. Available in an array of colours and styles, these leotards can also meet the specific criteria of exam syllabuses. Commonly sought after styles include the Ophelia Camisole, Natalia Camisole and the Freya Camisole.

High Back Leotard:

For something that provides a little more coverage and support, a high back leotard may be the perfect leotard for you. The high back design was created with the intention to allow those who may require or prefer to wear an undergarment to have it hidden from the naked eye. It still allows the leotard to accentuate the shape of the dancer without any detractions. It’s also a great choice for the younger dancer who may feel more comfortable in something with a little more coverage. Despite having a higher back, these leotards still share a wide colour palette and also come in an assortment of styles. Who says coverage has to be boring?! If this sounds like the leotard for you, have a look at the Charlotte Leotard or the Hannah Lace Leotard.

Decorative Back:

Who doesn’t enjoy a decorative back when it comes to a leotard? A frequently sought after feature, our decorative back leotards add a little extra ‘wow factor’ when it comes to selecting the best leotard for you. Popular for auditions, open classes or even as a costume option, these leotards can be worn for almost any occasion. From crossed straps to back lace detailing, there’s an array of designs to pick from. As with our other leotards, they also come in a spectrum of colours to suit the individual. Designs to have a look at include the Karen Lace Camisole, Tiffany Leotard and Sienna Mesh Leotard.

All of the leotard designs mentioned are part of the Core Collection at Energetiks, meaning they are available year round. However, some of these designs have been so popular that they have been carried over into our Limited Edition Collections to give you the option of having a print fabric in your favourite design. The other added bonus of the Limited Edition Collections is they have designs specific to that range. Once they are sold out they aren’t available to purchase again - perfect for when you want something a little different to everyone else! If printed fabrics are something that suits you, have a look at our most recent collections here.

From high backs to slim leg lines, crossed straps to full coverage, our collection of leotards has something to suit every body. Ranging from girls through to women’s, in sizes varying from a child’s XXXS through to an adult’s XXXL, we can assist you with finding the perfect fit for you.
