Don't laugh if you run studios in California or Florida, but the tan tights often worn by my tap and jazz dancers are simply too tan for dancers in the northern states. I finally found tights that work for our pasty skin in Wisconsin. The Revolution brand Classic Pink - is actually about perfect nude color for our non-tanned dancers. The added plus is they are very affordable and of solid construction, no baggy ankles on the young dancers either. Plus they match their shoes perfectly for a very clean line.
Last year I tested these tights on all my ballet students and snuck in a few tests on the Tap classes. The result is that the Suntan/Tan traditional tights we wore for the past 8 years are out the door! Now, all classes can wear the same tights and look fantastic with all costumes.
Parents only need to buy one color, so they are saving money too. Win/Win. Thanks Revolution for supplying us with a great tight, in a great color, at a great price! (how's that for a non-paid endorsement :)
Happy recital planning... it really is almost Spring.

This is exactly what we did this year! The traditional "suntan" is much to tan for our upstate NY pale girls so we're switching to "Classic Pink".
But what do you choose for non-caucasian dancers? The old suntan was nobody's skintone, so now that we're going for a more natural look, I feel like I should have my darker skinned dancers wear something closer to their skintone. Thoughts?
Thanks for the comment. I have that problem too. I have not found a solution yet. Maybe other readers will have some ideas for us.
