Energetiks CT30 – Classic Dance Tight, Convertible | Child
If your child takes more than one style, kids convertible dance tights save you buying and packing two pairs. The Energetiks CT30 has a reinforced opening at the sole, so she can wear it fully footed under her ballet shoes, then push her foot through to go footless for lyrical, contemporary, or barefoot work — all from one pair. It’s the versatile member of the Classic Tights family, built on the same soft, lightweight knit as the footed CT27 but ready to flex with a busy dance day.
That versatility is the whole point. The fabric, seams, and gusset are the same comfortable Classic build the footed and footless versions use — what sets the CT30 apart is that one pair quietly covers both footed and footless without a costume-change scramble.
Why choose kids convertible dance tights?
For a child who bounces between styles, one pair doing the work of two is a real help — fewer tights to buy, pack, and keep track of in the dance bag. She keeps them footed for ballet and exams, where a clean line into the shoe matters, then goes footless for lyrical or contemporary, to show the foot on stage, or to roll them up out of the way for floor work.
On a recital or competition day with quick changes, not having to peel off one pair and pull on another is exactly the kind of small thing that makes the day smoother. If your child only ever dances in shoes, the footed CT27 is all she needs; the moment “footless” enters her schedule, the CT30 earns its place.
How does the convertible foot work?
There’s a reinforced opening built into the sole of each foot. To go footless, your child slides her foot out through the opening and tucks the foot of the tight up under her arch; to go footed again, she guides her toes back through. The opening is reinforced so it holds up to being used over and over rather than gaping or laddering after a term of changes — important for a young dancer who’ll convert them again and again.
What are the CT30 tights made from?
The CT30 is a lightweight nylon and spandex knit (the same fine-microfibre family as the rest of the Classic range), giving a smooth finish, comfortable stretch, and shape retention so the leg doesn’t bag at the knee. A cotton gusset adds breathability and comfort, and the seams are flat so they stay smooth and non-itchy under leotards and costumes. The difference from the footed CT27 isn’t the fabric — it’s the convertible foot.
Footed, footless, or convertible — which does my child need?
All three are the same comfortable Classic fabric; the choice is about her feet. The footed CT27 fully encloses the foot and is the everyday pick for ballet and jazz in shoes. The footless CT29 leaves the foot bare for lyrical, contemporary, and acro. The convertible CT30 does both, thanks to the reinforced sole opening — the best pick for a child who takes a mix of styles in one day or one term. If she’s in a single discipline, the footed or footless pair is the simplest fit; if her week is mixed, the CT30 may save you owning two.
How do I size children’s convertible tights?
Energetiks sizes children’s tights by age, and the convertible style runs from Child Small (around 4–6 years) to Child X-Large. Age is a guide, not a rule — a tall dancer may need the next size up. Energetiks runs snug, so size up if your child is between sizes or growing quickly. Tights should fit smoothly without digging in at the waist; if you’re unsure, bring her in and we’ll help check the fit.

Sizing Guide — Energetiks Child Hosiery
Energetiks sizes children’s tights by approximate age. The convertible style starts at Child Small. Use age as a guide and consider your child’s height and build — Energetiks runs snug, so size up if your dancer is tall for her age or between sizes.
| Size | Approx. Age |
|---|---|
| Child Small | 4–6 years |
| Child Medium | 7–9 years |
| Child Large | 9–11 years |
| Child X-Large | 12–14 years |
This chart is a guide only and reflects approximate age ranges, not exact body measurements. If your child is tall for her age or between sizes, size up. An in-store fitting at August Muse is the best way to be sure.
Best For
- Young dancers who take more than one style and need footed and footless in a day
- Ballet plus lyrical or contemporary dancers switching between shoes and bare feet
- Recital and competition days where one versatile pair beats packing two
- Families who want the Classic comfort with the flexibility to go footless
- Exams and performances that need a clean footed line part of the time
A Note from August MuseThis is the pair we point families to when a child’s week isn’t all one style. Ballet shoes one hour, barefoot lyrical the next — the convertible foot means you’re not buying and packing two pairs, she just pushes her foot through and keeps going. It’s the same soft Classic knit as our footed CT27; the only real question is whether she needs the footless option. If she’s only ever in dance shoes, the CT27 is simpler and a little cheaper. If “footless” is on her schedule, the CT30 is worth it. Energetiks runs snug, so size up if she’s in between or growing fast.
We carry the CT30 in child sizes Small through X-Large in a wide range of shades, including Theatrical Pink, Salmon Pink, Black, and several tans for stage and contemporary work.
