What color of tights can a boy wear for beginning ballet?

Answer 1

I did not dance until I took a course as an arts elective in college. I wore the classic beginner mens ballet outfit. I wore a short sleeve white leotard with black tights and black ballet slippers.
There were only 2 other men in the class and they also wore black tights but one of them usually wore a white T shirt and the other a matching black leotard in long or short sleeve. I latter found Danskin made a mens tights in a Grey or a blue/Grey color and I liked how they looked. To be the most comfortable and blend in with the other dancers I would recommend black. If you feel uncomfortable wearing dancers tights you might ask your teacher if it would be OK to wear runners Lycra style tights. These are heavy er material but also stretch well and your instructor can still see your leg line. Most teachers would be glad to have any male student in their class so other than a professional school with a strict dress code almost anything goes. Happy dancing, Jamie.

I'm just wondering how many different ways you can ask basically the same question, but tweak it a little? And ya know what, if a guy is 25 years old...... he's NOT A BOY!!! We call that a man.

For classes boys always wear black,unless they're trying to look like starving artists from NYC and then they wear hottie hot shorts and one legwarmer and a M*A*S*H shirt and a shrug.
For performances the tights match your top,like any other costume. For partnering, a pas de deux, the boy always matches the girl's costume.
