But there aren'tmany such places, & what they have for men is usually woefullyinadequate. Next best is a catalog, simply because the picturesgive more detail than you can get from a Web page. They're alsoa poor source for male dancewear, but then, there aren't any goodsources, anywhere, & the catalogs are generally the best of a badlot. There are just so many more female students than males;that's where the money is & that's the market to whom they cater. A leotard is a garment that extends from the between the legs tothe shoulders. It's supposedly for women, but men do wear them (&it was invented by a man for his own use.) A unitard is a littlelike a body suit--tights and leotard all in one garment. Verypractical, because unlike tights is isn't apt to sag at the crotch.White T-shirts are traditional wear for male dancers in class. Belts? I assume you mean dance belts. They are the male dancer'sequivalent of an athletic supporter and they are VERY important.One wears them at any age; they protect the male organs. The beltswith a thong back look better, but full-backed dance belts are made(by Bal-Togs, I believe). Hope this helps. Tom Parsons Answers to this message:
