What Intermezzo Dance does

Intermezzo Dance is a Spanish textile company operating the Intermezzo Dancewear brand under Malltex S.A., a privately held Spanish corporation (S.A.) headquartered in the Barcelona/Terrassa area. The company traces its heritage to 1927 and states over 100 years of experience in the industry. It designs, manufactures, and sells dancewear and accessories from its Barcelona ateliers, with a stated emphasis on local production, conscious fashion, and specialty materials including bamboo fibers, recycled lycra, and flocked tulle.

The product portfolio spans ballet, jazz, contemporary, ballroom, and flamenco disciplines, plus a dedicated figure skating line and a children's collection, organized into Classic Styles and the premium Manila Collection (featuring high-neck leotards with flocked mesh, back zips, and tulle wrap skirts). The full catalog — leotards, tights, ballet shoes, skirts, leg warmers, warm-ups, leggings, men's dancewear, and accessories — is sold through five localized e-commerce storefronts (English, Spanish, German, French, Italian) supported by an Instagram-led ambassador program (@intermezzodance, @intermeznoskating), an email newsletter, and a dedicated B2B wholesale portal at b2b.intermezzo.es serving dance retailers and studios.

Revenue is generated through unit-priced direct-to-consumer retail priced in EUR (with products spanning roughly €4.99 accessories to €71.99 premium Manila leotards), supplemented by wholesale distribution at undisclosed pricing. International expansion has been supported through participation in the ICEX-Next Export Initiation Program, co-financed by European FEDER funds, reflecting an export-oriented posture toward European markets including Spain, Germany, and France.
