This is my first posting and am glad to be apart of this list.I am about to start an adult ballet class with mainly women.I have been taking private ballet lessons for the past year and the thought of wearing tights scares the shit outta me. Is it okay to wear a baggy T-shirt over them as I don't think I will feel very confident wearing tights. Another idea I have is to wear tights 1-2 sizes up and not pull them up so tight like you see dancers on TV. What do you all think? Does it really matter that much? I have seen ballet performances in which the men wear normal baggy pants instead of tights. Surely wearing tights is not that essential in ballet is it, but rather just adhering to conformity.Your honest opinions will be appreciated as I am too embarrassed to talk to my dance teacher about this.
