 Male dancewear

Let me try to answer them one-by-one. >First, I would like to know where to find white non-bulky, non-footed tights to create a more defined look both in front and back, You need to buy tights from a dancewear site. My suggestions would be www.nydancewear.com (will ship in unmarked packages), www.adadance.com, and www.tutu.com (at their men's section)(and there are many other sites). 100% nylon, primarily Capezio, are fairly light-weight, but not as sheer as women's tights you find at department stores. Nylon/lycra blends, like Bal-Togs are sufficiently opaque. Cotton/lycra can be more comfortable than nylon/lycra IMHO (I only wear cotton/lycra in classes now). >and a dance belt that is less visible through the white tights. Wear a flesh colored dancebelt. There's a wide range of dancebelts, that usually come in white, black and beige (flesh), but some are available in "suntan," although I have never seen one in a "flesh" color for African-Americans in many years. >Also, I have seen many male dancers that have a very defined look in back but all the tights I have seen do not feature a seam in back. Tights made for dancers will have a rear seam. And, the NoUniButt look, where the tights fit into the buttcrack, is a matter of proper adjustment of the material. I have posted this (see archives), but it's way too long to add to this message. I can email the document to you if you want. >Second, what do you wear to cover your ankles/feet when you use non-footed tights? Socks or just bare feet? This depends on your comfort level. When I wear non-footed tights/unitards I prefer to wear over-the-calf thin white nylon socks. I don't like bulky socks because they interfere with the feel of the floor, IMHO. But I have friends who just go barefoot. >And do you think leather or cloth footwear is better, and what color would you recommend when wearing white tights? I have a preference for leather, but finding good quality leather slipper for men is getting more difficult. IMHO, I find that the leather molds more to my foot than canvas. And my preference, regardless of what color tights I wear, is for white slippers. IMHO, I find the white slippers allow me to see how my foot is positioned when looking in the mirror. >Finally, what do you recommend wearing (and what color) on top with white tights to create better definition? I would rather not use a tank top; is there something that offers short sleeves but good definition? This again is a matter of preference. I have bought Bal-Togs cotton/lycra short-sleeved tops at www.nydancewear.com (a custom order, also available in nylon/lycra; GET A NY Dancewear paper catalogue to see the various tops available), available in a wide variety of colors. The color really depends on your personal preference, although I prefer lighter colors. You didn't ask about unitards. There are peculiarities to wearing unitards. balletboy Antworten zu diesem Beitrag:
