In one word............. yes!! And not to satisfy a tights fetish, but to show respect fot ballet. You will soon come to appreciate how tights allow you to move in ways you never dreamed of, yet keep you covered up and your legs warm. I recommened either M Stevens of Mirella mens ballet tights. They both have a mixture of Nyoln and Spandex and don't have the itching and sagging of 100% Nyoln tights and are not too shiny.[/i]
