why do ballerinas wear tights
Ballerinas wear tights so that they simply all look the same. They all get the same color tights. So the imperfections of their legs don't show. Tights have a classical look to them. Something has to absorb the perspiration from the lower half of their body and make their legs look good. Socks and long underwear are too thick and not as fashionable. Besides, it's not just ballerinas. The male dancers wear them, too.
