Or use footless tights.>>> * Use M-Stevens tights instead.>>> * Roll the top of the tights down around a leather or elastic belt.>>> * Wear a leotard over your tights>>Another solution to the tights problem - this place (http://www.comfilon.com/) makes men's tights.>I tried the M Stevens tights and I LOVE THEM!!!

Despitethe pain I lasted 30 minutes.Give it a go.If you need to buy shoesgo to Dancia in Covent Garden.Any other males doing pointe work let me know how you are doing.
