The 3 most commonly used styles of tights at our studio are: full foot, convertible and footless
Full Foot
The standard tight
They cover the entire foot and leg
Great if your dancer doesn't have any shoe changes during their evening of classes or on performance day
Amazing option for beginner dancers through to senior
Footless
Tight ends at the ankle and is finished nicely with a band to hold it in place
Used by all of our dancers in an acro class- footless tights are key for safety in acro classes
Occasionally used for performances based on teacher preference- usually by teen dancers in modern or contemporary routines
Convertible
Best of both worlds
Full foot tight that has a nicely finished opening in the ball of the foot
Allows dancers to roll up the tight to ankle length and create footless tights or over the toes for a full foot fit
Handy for dancers who have multiple classes in one evening. They can change from footless for acro, full foot for jazz and back to footless with socks for hip hop
Also great for dancers who like to change into flip flops after or between performances without having to take off their tights
Please note: Convertible tights are not suitable for performances needing footless tights. When rolled up convertible tights leave a noticeable roll and can come untucked. Which is why we suggest going with a footless tights if you are needing them for stage
