    I have been using bike shorts for ballet classes for 3 years or so. They're at last becoming worn at the seams and need to be replaced. I need something similar that doesn't tear when put under the stresses of splits, high kicks, etc. Any suggestions? :hat:

    Mankini.

    Covers everything that needs to be covered, and then doesn't even have seams in areas that would be stressed.

    Bam.

    Problem solved.

    You're welcome.

    Compression shorts or lycra suit/tights like they wear at actual ballets?

    Leotard is what we wore in ballet years ago and I am pretty sure that is still the case.

    Is there something you need to hide that the leotards don't cover? Normally a guy will wear a dance belt (like a jock strap) to flatten and disguise the obvious.

    If you don't like them for some reason a wrestling uni is very similar , can be worn with a t shirt and wouldn't be out of place.

    Finally, why not ask your instructor who will tell you what they are comfortable with you wearing?

    Just sayin'

    She referred me to a dancewear place, who in turn suggested the bike shorts.
    I'm a big fella and apparently don't fit standard stuff they carry. :) #tallpeopleproblems :bang:

    And here I thought bike shorts are compression shorts. :bang: I'll google it. :thumbsup:

    Totally read "I'm a big fella'" in a different way than you meant it.

    So me sticking a rolled up pair of socks down my shorts was a bad thing.

    No wonder they looked at me funny. :D
