Build your preparation around what you need
Start with your event’s entry status and official programme, then review the shoes and equipment you already use. Our dance shoe fit and sizing guide and shoe-care guide help with those checks. If you need advice on a particular pair, contact Elite Dancer with your size, style and competition date.
A proposed calendar date is an early planning reference. Check organiser confirmation before committing to non-refundable travel, and use each new edition’s own entry conditions.
