[i]>Im from scandinavia. way up north you know. I don't think i'll quit the class i'm currently attending, but i'm thinking about attending another class as well. The ballet teacher always makes us boys dance together. When it comes to tights we have actually discussed it. -No way i'm wearing it-, one of them said, the other think it's too early. But he considers it when he gets more advanced. me, of course, would like to start wearing them right now. I have considered wearing woollen black tights, without feet, but what i really would like to wear is a white snug lycra tights, with feet, but i find it too scary... Still i have a great view towards delicious female legs, all dressed in tights, so sexy... hah! one of the most important things about doing ballet myself was (is/will be) the opportunity to be myself and to overcome shame and constant need for approval of other for whatever I dothis goes for my dancing talent/skill/technique for my body/weak muscles/non-slim waist as well as for my attire: tights, leotard, slippersof course, to a shy guy like you and most of us it is very important to be accepted by the teacher and the rest of the groupbut, luckily, the majority of dancers are girls and be assured *they* do not object you wearing tights if there would be a girl finding it odd/inapropriate/funny she would not show or even change her mind seing the (no)reaction of the teacher and a ballet teacher would have many things to comment to any student but wearing tights would not be the one as others pointed out, the teacher would actually encourage you to wear tightsI myself wondered why my teacher (and other teachers whose classes I attended) did not require me to wear tights and finaly asked them the answer was simple: adult dancers and especialy males are so shy that teachers believe strict dress code would even further discourage themactually, I wore tights from my second class but I wore wide T-shirt because I was ashamed of that extra fat on my waist and thought other girls in the class would be grossed-out if they saw itthen my teacher (the second one) started lifting and rolling my shirt while showing, checking and correcting meone day I collected all my currage and appeared without T-shirt, just in unitard or leotard and .... I never wore a T-shirt againmany people in this forum will tell you that (seroiusly) dancing keeps you so much bussy that you do not have much time to look what others wear or do and to critisize thembesides, if the teacher is a good one the spirit in the calss is the one of comeradery rather than competitionfinally a personal story to share with you: one day our teacher declared that the date is approaching whaen we would start pointe techniquemy heart stopped and I had troubles looking indifferent because I very much wanted to try pointe (and was afraid of it in the same time) however, I did not dare to ask whether that included me, the only male in the group (actually in the studio), too I did not dare, because I was afraid that the answer would be "no"however, a girl, loughingly asked "him too?" other girls looked at the teacher with more or less same expression on the face: "of course NOT, men do NOT do pointe"to my delight, the teacher mattter-of-factly replied "him too"the girl was persistent: "male really dance en pointe?"the answer was: "no, they do not. but pointe excercise is great and important for strenghtening the feet"and that was itnow I do pointe (in pink shoes, but this is yet another story :))and no-one objects/frowns/laughs beacause we all have the same problems and aspirations with pointe excersisesthe moral of this story is that the teacher is the one who sets the rulesthus, go for tights, leotards and whatever you likeif you are so very shy than the only thing to do is to talk to your teacher openly ask her: "I thought wearing tights in the class would be the right thing to do to improve the moves and to better display good and wrong things I do in technique. I would be glad to wear them but am shy and do not know whether you think it is proper. what do you suggest?"I could bet I know the answer and you would like it :)))this is actually what I did when I wanted to swich from black to grey onesjoy-o-danceP.S. as for your male colleague who thinks he might wear tight when his technique improves I have a good and a bad news: the bad one is that the technique is *never* good enough :) it requires continuous practice and improvements while the good one bieng the fact that one of the major reasons to wear tights is to enable the teacher to see the things that you do *wrong* :) [/i]
