Footless tights for contemporary, jazz and lyrical dance
Footless tights give full leg coverage while leaving the foot completely free. The practical choice for any style where the foot is bare, in a contemporary shoe or moving between different footwear in the same session. Dance Direct stocks a specialist range of footless dance tights in ballet pink, tan, black and skin tone shades from Energetiks, Fiesta Legwear and our own Dance Direct label.
Why dancers choose footless tights
Contemporary and lyrical dancers use footless tights because the style demands a bare or half-covered foot for floor work and turns while still keeping the leg warm and covered through the rest of the routine. Jazz dancers use them when the choreography calls for a bare foot or when switching between jazz shoes and bare foot work in class. Ballet dancers occasionally choose footless tights for contemporary-influenced repertoire or when wearing pirouette shoes. The footless design also makes costume changes faster backstage, without needing to remove the tight between numbers.
Colour, fit and durability
Footless tights are available in ballet pink, tan, black and skin tone shades, covering class requirements and performance colours across the full range of girls and womens sizes. Dance Direct selects for fabric weight, waistband security and hem finish at the ankle that stays in position through floor work and extended movement without rolling or bunching at the leg.
