We were new to the ballet world, and we had bought tights for our girls over the years to wear with their clothing and when they first started dance, they used those tights. Then...we got these! There is a reason there are dance tights! They are tough! But not so thick! I don't know how they do it! The stretch is great. They fit great and we were surprised to see two packages instead of just one! So happy with our purchase. I will be purchasing more this week!
