The start of a new dance season has a certain energy you can almost hear — the squeak of fresh shoes on the studio floor, the hum of chatter as dancers reunite, the snap of a clean tendu at the barre. It’s the perfect moment to set yourself (and your students) up for success — starting with the gear you’ll rely on every single day.
And in the dance world, few items work harder than a good pair of tights.
Why Tights Are the Unsung Heroes of Dancewear
Tights do far more than cover your legs. They keep muscles warm, enhance your lines, and provide the smooth, uniform look that’s essential for class and performance. They have to withstand hours of movement, frequent washing, and quick changes — all without losing shape or comfort.
That’s why this Back-to-Dance season is the perfect time to take stock of your tights wardrobe. If you see runs, stretched-out waistbands, or fading color, it’s time for an upgrade.
At Body Wrappers, we’ve designed tights that dancers and teachers trust year after year. Two of our most-loved styles — TotalSTRETCH® Convertible Tights and Shimmer Tights — are studio staples for a reason.
TotalSTRETCH® Convertible Tights: The Multi-Tasker’s Dream
For dancers who move between styles in a single day, TotalSTRETCH® Convertible Tights are the ultimate time-saver. With a small, discreet opening at the bottom of the foot, they can transform from full-foot to footless in seconds — perfect for switching from pointe to modern to barefoot rehearsals without missing a beat.
The knit is soft yet resilient, holding its shape through repeated wear. Colors are carefully chosen to complement a range of leotards and skin tones, making them versatile for both class and performance.
Shimmer Tights: Stage-Ready Confidence
When it’s time to perform, every detail matters. Shimmer Tights add just the right touch of sheen, catching the light beautifully under stage lamps without distracting from your movement.
They’re durable enough for long rehearsal days, quick costume changes, and multiple shows, yet comfortable enough to keep you focused on the choreography — not your outfit.
A Smarter Way to Stock Up: The Bulk Order Program
For teachers, studio owners, and bulk buyers, outfitting a whole class can be a big investment. That’s why Body Wrappers offers our Bulk Order Program, designed to make stocking up easier — and more affordable.

It’s the simplest way to make sure every dancer in your care starts the season looking polished and feeling confident — without straining your budget.
Care Tips to Keep Tights Performance-Ready
Once you’ve refreshed your tights drawer, a little care will go a long way toward extending their life:
-
Wash gently — Hand wash or use a delicate cycle in cold water.
-
Air dry only — The dryer can damage elasticity.
-
Alternate pairs — Rotating between tights reduces wear.
-
Keep a backup — Store an extra pair in your dance bag for emergencies.
These small habits help maintain both the look and feel of your tights all season.
