Do male ballet dancers have to wear tights to perform?

Answer 1

In practices or rehearsals, for the same reason as female Ballet dancers do. It is considered an "appropriate" form of dance wear, covers up, and it comfortable. In performances, it is often just how most costumes are done. Females tend to wear dresses or skirts, and men tend to wear simple tights and elaborate tops. That is just how the costumes have evolved, generally speaking.
