Is Tan really Tan?

Common request: “I need a pair of tan tights?” Most common answer: “Which color tan – suntan, light tan, jazzy tan..?” Tan isn’t really just Tan anymore! As the genre of dance expands, so does the color spectrum of dance tights available.

Each manufacturer of dance tights has their own color palette – many do not match other companies (to obviously capitalize on sales). Therefore, each company has different tight swatches with their color palette. For example: BodyWrappers offers the following colors in the “tan family” ~ Jazzy Tan, Suntan and Toast. While Bloch offers the following colors in the same family ~ Light Tan and Tan. The same is true for pink – pink isn’t just pink. The two colors which are universal within the tight world are white and black.

When you are in the market for a specific color tight, be sure that the studio/teacher is specific as to which color tan or pink. We’d be happy to lend out our swatches to help studios/teachers decide which color they would prefer. We’re here to help you get the right color tight!
