personally, i started ballet with jazz pants too (made for man or woman by Eurotard). later on i switched to tights because i wanted to improve.
mann... it helped alot. my teacher noticed things she didn't check before and i receive more criticsm (positive ones).
but if you feel uncomfortable, buy those jazz pants. but save yourself and the $, go for tights. M Stevens is pretty good.>I am 22 and just about to start Ballet lessons. My teacher does not care what I wear but I was hoping to wear Jazz pants. The only ones I can find are for women. Is it acceptable for a man to wear them, because I would prefer them for the time[/i]
