That’s because the tights give a male partner a textured surface so he can get a good grip on a thigh or calf during pas de deux lifts and throws that would otherwise be far more dangerous with bare sweaty legs. At other times if we are working a seduction scene commando under a party dress, in a bikini or nude where we want a man to have almost instant access to the vulva we work barelegged wearing nylon footies over taped and padded toes. That way we can change pointes quickly just pulling nylon sheathed feet out of our pointe-shoes which is far less likely to disturb the padding if it’s ok and a quick shoe change is needed. <br /><br />Tights don’t really make shoes last any longer as they don’t absorb enough sweat to protect the interior of the shoes. The toe pads get soaked though and the heat of feet will melt the paste of shoes made of traditional materials, which is why we wear Gaynor Minden pointes the polymer boxes and shanks of which aren’t softened by perspiration. Convertible foot tights do help hold the padding and tape in place. <br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373188929595748773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218371937671599251.post-66987297618143939692016-02-26T14:13:23.086+00:002016-02-26T14:13:23.086+00:00What is "mares trick"?
