The PortDance BALLERINA Dance Flats are a wonderfully unexpected alternative to traditional Ballroom and Latin shoes. Delicate, sparkling and beautifully easy to wear, they bring a ballerina-inspired silhouette into the social dance world - perfect when you want freedom of movement without wearing a heel.
PortDance BALLERINA Personality
Playful • Sparkling • Feminine • Effortless
These have such a different personality from the rest of the PortDance collection. The classic Mary Jane shape feels sweet and understated, while the scattered sequins completely change the mood when they catch the light.
Black is the cooler, slightly more dramatic option - tonal black sequins create texture and shine without introducing another colour. Beige/Gold feels softer and more luminous, with warm metallic sequins giving the ballerina silhouette an almost champagne-like glow.
PortDance BALLERINA Sequin Dance Flats – Design & Performance
The simplicity of BALLERINA hides its most interesting feature: sacchetto construction. This traditional construction method creates a soft, flexible relationship between the upper and lining, allowing the shoe to move closely with the foot rather than feeling rigid underneath it.
Inside, a full leather lining gives the foot a smooth, premium interior and gradually adapts with wear. The low-profile construction keeps the dancer naturally close to the floor, while the adjustable Mary Jane strap helps secure the shoe across the instep during movement.
Instead of a conventional suede dance outsole, BALLERINA uses a Neolite sole. That makes this an unusually versatile member of the PortDance family, particularly useful for social events and occasions where dancers may move between dance spaces and everyday surfaces rather than staying exclusively on a traditional studio floor.

Dance World Notes
Don't let the ballerina shape fool you.
This isn't simply a pretty fashion flat placed in the dance collection. The sacchetto construction is what makes BALLERINA interesting for dancers, it gives the shoe its unusually soft, flexible and foot-following character.
Dance World Tip – These would be brilliant tucked into a dance bag as your “my feet have had enough of heels but I'm absolutely not finished dancing” pair. 😄
Dance World Fit Advice
Overall Fit
PortDance BALLERINA fits true to size for most dancers. Start with your regular street-shoe size.
Expect a Close First Fit
The sacchetto construction is designed to sit closely around the foot, so BALLERINA can feel naturally snug when new rather than loose like an everyday fashion flat.
Leather-Lined Feel
The full leather lining gradually responds to the foot with wear, helping the shoe develop a more personalised feel over time.
Secure the Instep
Adjust the Mary Jane strap so it holds the shoe comfortably against the foot during movement without digging into the instep.
Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a starting point. Dance shoe fit is individual and can vary with foot width, instep height and personal preference.
