....follow your dream !

Isn't this rather unusual attire for men???? I realize ballet requires uniformity, but I think this is a little ridiculous!!!! Pink is not so bad unless it is really BRIGHT bubble gum pink. I wearpale pink footed tights to class every so often and nobody says much.I also wear pale blue, pale green, grey , beige , lilac , black ,navyoff white and many other color footed tights.I also attended a studiowhere the woman teacher had me wear pink tights.It was no big deal.Solong as they are heavy and opaque enough and the color is subtle.Nobright colors and loud patterns.I don't hardly wear them with a leotard.I usually wear them with a stretch nylon top or shirt and my shoes are white leather or canvas.I have been in ballet many many years and I never had one teacher male or female get upset with the color of mytights.By the way, I'm straight and married to a wonderful woman whodoes not mind the colors either.I think what is important is that thetights do not restrict body movement etc.The color is a non-issue. Thanks for letting me comment-Peter M. Answers to this message: |
