Tights do far more than disappear under a leotard, with different finishes and constructions for class, costume and stage.
The difference between class tights and performance tights is more than colour. Our dance tights from Fiesta, Capezio, Energetiks and more include footed, stirrup, convertible, fishnet, shimmer and performance styles for class, stage and costume wear. From barely-there Feathersoft options to reinforced fishnets and high-gloss finishes, choose the coverage, texture and finish that suits the way you’re dancing.
Footed, convertible, stirrup, fishnet and shimmer tights are not interchangeable; each solves a different class or performance brief. Girls’ dance tights cover school lists, class and concert needs, while women’s dance tights extend into more stage finishes and adult fits. For a brand-led choice, Fiesta, Capezio and Energetiks each bring a different mix of constructions.
Colour is often dictated by the school, costume or performance brief, while construction is about how the tight will be used. Convertible styles make foot access easier, footed tights give continuous coverage, and fishnet or shimmer finishes are there to be seen. Choosing by function first saves the frustration of expecting one pair to cover every class and concert.
