Question: Why do male ballet dancers wear tights?
Answer: Tights are typically worn by both male and female ballet dancers because they allow an audience to see the incredible beauty of the human body while performing ballet movements. Tights accentuate the overall shape of the legs, and keep the muscles warm to prevent injury. Tights also allow ballet instructors to correct improper technique, as baggy clothing such as sweat pants would "hide" mistakes and misalignment.
