Is there a reason why dancers wear tights in practice?

Question

I understan why for recitals--but why in practice?

Answer 1

i am a dancer. we wear tights in rehearsal because they are easy to move in and it gets us use to them. since i dance sooo much its like i am not even wearing them anymore. plus, that way the teacher can see the lines and make sure we are doing everything right

Answer 2

beacuse while in practice the teacher can watch the moves of the dancers and correct them more accurately as if wearing non-tight bottoms the teacher will not be able to appreciate the movements- plus tights make movements more exaggerated what is what dancers are looking for

Answer 3

not only dancers but athletes and swimmers also wear tights. It is due to the reason that the muscles are in better control of one self.

Answer 4

actually i dont know. i dance and sometimes i dont even wear my tights to practice. umm when you do spilts during streches sometimes without tights your knees will rub against the floor and you may get a friction burn. the only other reason besides that and warmth is it makes jazz shoes go on easier.

Answer 5

I dance myself and tights are worn in winter or summer to keep you legs warm. They also are a lot easier to dance in then pants and have a cooling effect to them. And second of all, rectials are for little girls. They are called shows or perfomances.

Answer 6

Show off curves and create no issues with moving along!

Answer 7

For warmth and support. Cold muscles get injured more easily.

Answer 8

Answer 9

keeps their legs warm

Answer 10

to dance freely!
