for ballet? I know for a fact that cat suits (full body length including
arms) are available for women but what about for guys?

another piece of clothing anyways. It doenst matter to me if it is a
"womens" dancewear.
Besides, the females are more impressed with you if you practice hard. That
will earn their respect and they wont care about your clothes.

body. The dance store where I buy all my stuff tells me that the way it
fits is totally different and therefore are not intended for men. Quite
frankly I can't really see the difference between the female and male.

Well, the ladies stuff fits fine- just be careful about the cut of the
crotch in a leotard for ladies- not enough coverage down there! If you wear
the leotard inside of tights- it doesnt matter than.
Many times the sizes for women are the same as for men- if in doubt consult
the size chart at the dance store- you might have to ask a salesperson for
it- look under ladies sizes- and closely match that size to your weight and
waist size. That works for me.
Ususally there is no difference between male and female cuts of fabric
anyways- especially nylon/spandex!

Not cat suits.... UNITARDS........

I don't exactly know what you mean by the crotch in women's leotard. How
can you wear a leotard within a full length unitard? Wouldn't that be
awfully thick or am I not getting your point? Aren't tights for men like
that of pantyhose for girls?
If possible please explain the differences between leggings, leotards,
tights, and unitards. I'm so confused right now.

Leggings are not the term used in dance.
Tights would be the proper term.
There are tights made for men and for women.
They cover from the waist down.
Can be with or without feet, or convertible.
So that one can have the tights full footed, or not footed at all.
Leotards, are "body suits" but they don't have snaps in the crotch
area...thank you very much.
Those stupid snaps are so annoying. Anyone remember them from the 60's and
70's?
Crotch is the area between your legs.
The perianul area. I hope that is specific enough.
If not think of your pubis, to the rectum.
Women's tights have a special crotch piece that is cotton. This is put in
for sanitary reasons.
It helps us from getting yeast infections from the dank, sweaty stuff that
goes on down there.
For many years tights did not have cotton crotches, and many ladies got some
pretty nasty allergies and infections. I suppose when the tights were made
from silk or cotton way back it wasn't a problem,
But come the lycra inventions, and all the synthetic materials, many of us
reacted.
Men do not have this same problem.
Perhaps because they wear a dance belt...
But I don't think that is made of cotton/lycra.
Anyway, men don't get yeast infections by themselves, usually.
Tights made for women are lighter weight fabric then the tights made for
men.
But, I am sure many men will disagree on that point.
I guess the companies are skimping on the heavier fabric lately.
The point being that the heavier tights for men make for a less transparent
view.
Esp. in light colored tights, such as grey, white, light blue, etc.
Unitards are a one piece garment that covers from the foot the shoulders.
It is a combination of both leotard and tights.
But most times, it is best to wear something under the unitard...this is
esp. true if it is a costume.
Then it is unsanitary to go "nude" in a unitard.
I suppose if it is your own..and the material is thick enough, then extra
tights, or some light weight leotard might be unnecessary.
For men, they would be using a dance belt, and would not need anything else.
Unless they felt they wanted to wear something else.
In costumes, many times, unitards are built with double fabric to give extra
thickness so the dancers can avoid wearing heavier under garments.
Just a g-string, or dance belt. What are those panties that women are
wearing so much now.
They are built like the male dance belt used to be.
A thread up the crack in back and a cover around the more private parts.
OH>>>>thongs...
I hope this explains to you what the differences in practice clothes are.

I apologize for the intrusion but I think I can help out. Our company
sells womens dancewear online but we have many male customers because
men's dancewear is hard to find. Here's a short explanation of the
different items.
Leggings and tights are basically the same thing. Some call them
leggings, others insist that leggings are opaque tights. We happen to
call them leggings because we used to carry sheer dance tights
also. Here's a picture for reference:
http://store.yahoo.com/jumpingjoy/bassolcolleg.html
Leotards and bodysuits are also the same item. The cut of the crotch is
designed for women and probably would not fit comfortably on men. But I
have never seen men's leotards...
http://store.yahoo.com/jumpingjoy/lonsleevleot.html
Finally, unitards and catsuits are basically the same item also. They
range from sleeveless to long sleeve designs and full-length to
bike short length legs.
http://store.yahoo.com/jumpingjoy/basfulun.html
I hope this helps to define the difference in these items. Again, sorry
for the intrusion.

Unitards that fit women will also fit men... I usually wear unitards to dance
class or to the gym.
Star Styled has them as do Discount dance and other suppliers...
If in Southern California. There are stores in the Hollywood and Burbank area
that specifically stock larger sizes for men and for stunt people to
wear..... Unitards, Cat suits.. tights.. etc.
also, don't be afraid to ask at a local dancewear store about ordering
something or finding something to fit you

No problem, just trying to say that the terms used for dance are not the
same. It is important that dancers or new beginners know the correct terms
for the items they will be using.
It is like any other sport.
or art. Each area has its own terms, and they need to be learned and used
properly.

Dit behoort tot het klassieke assortiment, maar ook de jazz- en showdanseressen kunnen hier hun danskleding vinden. Er is een uitgebreid aanbod aan danspanty's, zoals verschillende kleuren netpanty's ("fishnet maillots"), huidkleurige glanspanty's, matte panty's en niet te vergeten de stevige 70 Denier balletpanty's met voet en zonder voet, in de kleuren roze, zwart en wit.
Qua schoeisel is het aanbod ook behoorlijk divers in deze danswinkel. Zo ontbreken er geen zwarte sneakers van leer, want deze dansschoenen zijn erg populair geworden laatste jaren. Als tegenhanger van leer zien we de canvas jazzschoenen Salsette I van Sansha. Voor een iets fijnere look kun je kiezen voor zwarte jazzschoenen met een hakje en veters. Vaak is dit de beste keus voor professionele dansers.
Zoek je iets voor een kleintje, bijvoorbeeld een balletpakje voor een peuter, dan is er genoeg keus uit verschillende kinderballetpakjes. De maten gaan al vanaf maat 86!
Tevens zijn er bijpassende lichtroze balletschoentjes. Kids dragen vaak balletschoenen met hele zool, terwijl volwassenen een splitzool dragen. Het linnen innovatieve model Stretchpro is een professionele balletschoen voor dames.
Een bestseller uit het assortiment is bijvoorbeeld de zwarte hotpants van katoen. Veelal gedragen over een balletpak of gecombineerd met een danstop zoals de "Urbantop". In deze top komen de schouders mooi tot hun recht.
Mis vooral ook de populaire zwarte danslegging Flex niet. Deze is gemaakt van de innovatieve stof Tactel, waardoor het bewegen een stuk soepeler gaat dan bij katoen.
Cadeautjes zijn er in de vorm van kleine snuisterijtje zoals sleutelhangers en balletkettinkjes, maar ook is er een ruim aanbod van tassen. Erg gewild tijdens feestdagen zoals Sinterklaas, kerst en bij verjaardagen.
Vooral het merk Dancer Dancewear zie je terug in het uitgebreide assortiment, vanwege de beste prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Hiernaast zijn er ook veel artikelen van de bekende merken Papillon en Sansha. De prijzen zijn al goed, maar je hebt extra geluk als je iets moois kunt aanschaffen in de outlet. Je zult je verbazen dat prachtige balletkleding goedkoop kan uitvallen.
Balletkleding kan ook naar Belgie, Luxemburg, Frankrijk en Duitsland worden verstuurd. De verzendkosten zijn slechts 3,95 euro en het maakt dus niet uit of het verzonden wordt naar Amsterdam, Rotterdam of Antwerpen.
Neem snel een kijkje op de website!
