Tights Guide

  • Pink = Ballet Pink (a very pale pink to neutral pink, can vary between brands, just make sure it is not bright pink!)

  • Tan = As close to your skin color as possible (many dance tights have multiple choices for “tan”)

  • Footed = regular footed tights

  • Footless = ankle length 

  • Convertible = has a hole in the bottom of the foot so they can be rolled up if necessary, sometimes also called “transition”. These can be used in place of footed and footless tights (good option if you have multiple dances)
