Energetiks CT27 – Classic Footed Dance Tight | Child
If you need dependable kids footed dance tights for ballet class, the Energetiks CT27 is the everyday pair we hand most families. It’s the children’s version of the brand’s best-selling Classic footed tight: soft breathable microfibre, smooth flat seams, and a cotton gusset, in a fully footed style that slips easily under ballet and jazz shoes. For a growing dancer who’s in class week after week, it’s the reliable, well-priced staple that just does its job.
What makes this the everyday choice is the balance of softness and durability. The fabric is gentle enough for younger dancers who notice every itchy seam, but it holds its shape and color through a full term of classes and washes.
Why are these kids footed dance tights a class staple?
Three things matter most for a child’s everyday tights, and the CT27 covers all three. They’re comfortable — the microfibre is soft and the seams lie flat, so there’s nothing to rub or distract a young dancer mid-class. They’re practical — fully footed means they go straight under ballet slippers or jazz shoes with no fuss, and the cotton gusset keeps things breathable. And they hold up — the knit keeps its shape instead of bagging at the knee and ankle, which is exactly what you want when a pair gets worn (and washed) several times a week.
What are the CT27 tights made from?
The CT27 is knit from a microfibre and spandex blend — roughly 72% microfibre to 28% spandex — for a smooth finish, comfortable stretch, and good shape retention. A cotton gusset is sewn in for breathability and comfort, and the foot is fully enclosed (footed), the standard choice for ballet and for wearing inside dance shoes. If your dancer also takes lyrical or contemporary in bare feet, ask us about the footless (CT29) or convertible (CT30) versions.
How do I size children’s tights, and what about growing room?
Energetiks sizes its children’s tights by age, from Child XX-Small up to Child X-Large. Age is a starting point, not a rule — a tall six-year-old may need the next size up, and a petite one the size down. Energetiks runs snug, so if your child is between sizes or growing quickly, sizing up gives a little more life out of the pair. Tights should fit smoothly without digging in at the waist or sagging at the ankle; if you’re unsure, bring your dancer in and we’ll help you check the fit.
Footed, footless, or convertible — which does my child need?
For most young dancers in ballet, jazz, or tap, footed tights like the CT27 are all they need — they give a clean line and go right under the shoe. If your child takes lyrical or contemporary barefoot, footless tights (CT29) keep the leg covered while leaving the foot free. And if she does a mix of styles in one day, the convertible (CT30) lets her switch between footed and footless. We stock all three and can help you choose for your studio’s requirements.

| Child XX-Small | 1–2 years |
| Child X-Small | 2–4 years |
| Child Small | 4–6 years |
| Child Medium | 7–9 years |
