SORRY, it is not very appropriate to for the male dancer to wear the leotard outside or over the tights. Men wear the tights over the leotard.
FINALLY, A dance belt is as necessary as ballet shoes for men. As a female you have no idea how help full and necessary one is for safety and comfort. PLEASE GET A DANCE BELT. It only takes getting kicked in the groin once to realize what I am talking about. I have partnered many ladies over the years and on occassion you will get kicked in the "family Jewels."
