Shades Dancewears Guide to Inclusive Tights: How to Shop by Tone and Texture

Finding your perfect match has never been easier with skin tone tights that celebrate every dancer’s natural beauty!

Gone are the days when dancers of all ages had to compromise on dancewear that didn’t match their skin tone. Shades inclusive dancewear movement is transforming Ballet and dance studios worldwide, leading the charge by offering diverse skin tone options across all dancewear. Whether you’re shopping for your toddler’s first Ballet class or seeking professional-grade convertible tights for your dance performance, here’s your complete guide to finding the perfect inclusive tights!

Why Skin Tone Matching Matters in Dance

When dancers can wear tights, shoes and all other dancewear that actually matches their skin tone, it sends a strong message that all bodies are welcome in the dance world. Traditional pink tights often created visual breaks in the line for dancers with darker skin tones, affecting both confidence and the aesthetic goals of dance, especially in Ballet. The movement toward flesh-tone tights represents a redefinition of classical traditions, moving away from one-size-fits-all approaches – finally.

Shopping by Skin Tone: Your Perfect Match Guide

Start with a Colour Match Swatch by Shades Dancewear! While we await the launch of some brand-new, sustainable and innovative technology to help you find your perfect shade, you can use our unique Colour Match Swatch to find your shade.

Understanding Undertones

Look beyond surface colour to identify whether your skin has warm, cool, or neutral undertones. Our inclusive shades accommodate each tone family and their subtle differences.

Age-Appropriate Options for Every Dancer

Toddlers and Young Dancers (Ages 2-8)

Global majority dancers from the age of two years old can now step into their first Ballet class with confidence, reassured that their ethnicity is respected and accepted. Look for soft, comfortable materials with age-appropriate stretch!

Youth Dancers (Ages 9-17)

Pre-teen and teen dancers need tights that move with growing bodies while maintaining professional appearance standards. Shades convertible styles are great for versatility across different dance genres.
