#2 Essential for a Young Ballerina

2. Ballet Tights: Comfort and Support

Ballet tights provide support and help maintain the dancer’s lines. Wearing tights allows the teacher to see and check the dancer’s line and correct the muscles engaged during routines. Dance tights are different from regular tights. They are thicker and much more stretchy which makes them last longer. Choose footed tights made from durable materials like nylon or spandex that can withstand frequent washing. They should fit properly—too tight or too loose can cause discomfort and hinder movement, but one pair of ballet tights fits a wide range of sizes because they are so stretchy.
