I even decided to try wearing a leotard for swimming when I went on vacation and found a wonderful cap-sleeve spandex model at a discount store; they had started carrying a good selection. Sure I got titters and stares but I was comfortable, and I could do anything (diving, etc.) without fear of my unitard coming off.
Now, in my 50s, I wear tights under shorts (or maybe no shorts) for doing yard work in cool weather. And I even found a VERY comfortable pair for sleeping, with a long-sleeved T-shirt. This works out well in warmer weather because I can get up on Monday morning and go put out the garbage while still in my "pajamas."
Oh, yes, did I ever take a dance lesson? No. I'm too uncoordinated for that. But I sure have enjoyed many years of wearing tights and leotards; my only regret is that I have gained weight and the two boxes full of them in the attic - - all sorts of colors and styles - - no longer fit.[/i]
