dance tights

Stretchy leg coverings

Dance tights are form-fitting legwear worn by dancers, typically made of nylon or spandex that stretches to allow full range of movement.

They come in footed, footless, and convertible styles, with convertible tights having an opening at the sole for barefoot work.

Ballet dancers traditionally wear pink or flesh-toned tights, while other dance forms use black or varied colors: She packed three pairs of dance tights for the recital.
