 the male dancer
written by Dance Guy at on 23.06. at 03:44:45 Fear of tights kept me from trying ballet for many years. Once I decided to take the plunge, I realized they were no big deal. That is - after the first couple classes where I felt totally nked! However, it seems the very first thing many friends ask when they hear I'm a dancer is, "do you have to wear tights?", which indicates they ARE a big deal to many people. A lot of adult ballet programs have very relaxed dress codes to attract people who have some issue with the traditional dance garb. This is a mixed blessing: it may get them to class, but then the teacher can't properly correct them because he/she can't see what their body is doing under their sweats or other non-dance clothing. Meantime, it gives the class a very unprofessional look to others investigating the school. Answers to this message:
