About tights!
Dancers have a series of needs to be met. For example, muscles work better when they are kept warm, and tights help keep the heat in. Tights keep the legs from being slippery with sweat. They also cover up the crotch area in a tutu, especially when dancers are being lifted upside down with their legs in a split, or when their extensions are extremely high.
โ
Furthermore, their chosen sport or art is designed for aesthetic appreciation; line and design are of great importance. In dance, we need to see intricate foot and leg movements. Tights can also be dyed for costumes in endless ways, allowing for variety while still exposing long ballet lines. Bulkier clothing would not only hide the movement but also get in the way of its execution.
โ
Trousers have too much material to allow for tightly crossed positions of the leg and sometimes a foot can fasten in the material at the knee. Also, the instructor cannot see if the leg is entirely straight in baggy pants.
Tights allow the entire leg line to be seen.
