What are Conversion Tights, and do I need them?
Conversion tights are regular full footed tights with a hole in the sole that allows the dancer to roll the tights up over their ankles and go barefoot. These are recommended for dancers who will be changing from covered dance shoes to bare feet, half-soles, etc. (e.g. modern, lyrical, acro). If your dancer uses covered shoes only, regular tights are fine. If your dancer is enrolled in Acro only, tights are not necessary at all. S/he may take class in bare legs/feet.
