geschrieben von Dancer Boy at am 31.10. um 07:17:30 - als Antwort auf: tights and dance belts for my two boys von gail Tell them ballet is a sport, get them to look at it that way and explain to them that the reason for the tights/unitard and dancebelt is so the instructors can see their muscles. The dancebelt must be worn for their own protection, allows for more freedom of movement and gives the support needed that a jockstrap will not give. Make sure they wear the thong type dancebelts and without trying to be graphic on here, they need to wear the dancebelt pulled up nice and snug with their "equipment" straight up in the triangle shaped pouch. The pouch lifts everything away from between their legs for their own protection. Again it is important that not only must they wear in the "up" position but also the waistband should be pulled up nice and snug on their waists for extra support. But before you even tell them why they have to wear tights and a dancebelt, get their waist measurements and then purchase a black or tan dancebelt for each boy and black tights or a unitard. Tell the local dance/ballet store their measurements and if you plan to get unitards for them other measurements are needed such as torso, chest, etc. Because the boys are 12 and 14, I would not make them go with you the first time to a dance/ballet store but I would also not tell them you're buying them the clothing either. Why? Because like most boys who have an interest in ballet they know they're going to have to wear tights eventually. So when they come home from school one day, have their tights and dancebelts laid out on a chair or bed in the privacy of their rooms. Don't even mention what is waiting for them and when they do see the gear and if they balk, tell them they must try on the dancebelt (and yes, tell them how it must be worn) and tights. Be firm with them about this. Once they have put on their tights/unitard, tell them you want to see how they look. They may feel awkward wearing the dancebelt and tights but for the first time they are wearing them make them wear it for a couple of hours in the house to get used to the feel and fit. If they're wearing tights they should wear a white T-shirt tucked in under their dancebelt or tights. Because their dance instructor(s) will want to see snug fitting tights, make sure their tights and dancebelts are pulled up very snug. Of course this new experience for any male, especially teenagers, wearing a dancebelt and tights may involuntary cause an erection, especially when putting on the dancebelt, that's why it's important they wear the dancebelts and tights around the house to get used to the fit/feel. Most males, even when practicing ballet, do sometimes have erections and another purpose of the dancebelt is to maintain extra support control thus helping prevent embarrasment. If your boys still balk after wearing the dancebelt and tights for a few hours tell them that they will have to go ahead and take ballet and wear the gear because most ballet stores will not accept returns for worn clothing. Besides, once they go to their first class and see other boys wearing dancewear their fears should subside. However, if they are the only two guys in the class that means they will probably have many girlfriends because girls do like guys in their classes and in tights. Antworten zu diesem Beitrag:
