Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Só Dança Gaia SL117 come in?
The Gaia SL117 is available in adult sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL. For child and youth sizing, Só Dança offers the Galileia SL118. For curvy and plus sizing, the Gal SL183 is the recommended alternative.
What fabric is used in the Gaia SL117 leotard?
The Gaia SL117 is made from smooth microfiber fabric, which provides a comfortable, shape-retaining fit that moves with the dancer through a full range of motion. The material is soft against the skin and holds its form through repeated wear and washing.
Does the Gaia SL117 require a separate bra?
No. The Gaia SL117 features a shelf-lined bodice that provides light built-in support, making a separate bra unnecessary for most dancers during class and rehearsal.
What dance styles is the Gaia SL117 suitable for?
The Gaia SL117 is designed for a wide range of studio disciplines including ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, acro, tap, musical theatre, and ballroom. Its low back and three-quarter sleeves make it especially well suited for styles that require visible back lines and arm extension.
How should I care for the Só Dança Gaia SL117 to maintain its shape?
Só Dança recommends hand washing or machine washing the Gaia SL117 on a gentle cycle in cold water. Lay flat to dry and avoid high heat from dryers or irons, as heat can break down microfiber fabric and reduce the garment's shape retention over time.
What makes the Gaia SL117 different from a standard long-sleeve leotard?
The Gaia SL117 features a distinctive pinch detail at both the front and back neckline, which creates a more tailored and elegant silhouette compared to a standard scoop or V-neck leotard. The three-quarter sleeve length also provides arm coverage without restricting extension, and the low back adds a contemporary design element suited to performance and stage use.
