Why do ballet dancers wear what they do?
This depeneds on if you're talking about a proffessional ballet dancer and a training ballet dancer. Both wear nude pink tights and a leotard. Some dancers also wear skirts over their leotards. The only time a tutu is worn is during a ballet (like Swan Lake) or sometimes basic colored classical (or pancake) tutus are worn suring rehearsal and/or for dancers in ballet trainee programs Houston Ballet II and the San Francisco Ballet trainee program. Short leg warmers are sometimes worn/allowed during the colder months and are almost always only allowed during barre work. Dancers ALWAYS ALWAYS have small neat hair buns. Dancers wear soft pink ballet slippers, and advanced dancers and female proffessional dancers wear pointe shoes (shoes that support you when you are dancing on your toes.) A proffessional ballet dancer is a member of a proffessional ballet company like the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, Washington. These dancers are extremley talented. Their mornings consist of the basic company class and then it's followed by ballet rehearsals. Proffessional dancers dance for about 7 hours a day 6 days a week. A ballet dancer in training attends ballet class several hours a day to perfect his or her ballet technique so, that at age 17 or 18 they are ready to join a proffessional ballet company and pass the ballet company audition. This is extremley hard work and it never gets "easy". Female ballet dancers with very, very strong ballet technique, alignment, and balance who are at LEAST 12 years old do pointe work. In the summer ballet dancers training to become proffessionals attend ballet summer intensives like Boston Ballet's Summer Dance Inetnsive. Ballet dancers also perform in ballets like The Nutcracker and Giselle,and sometimes copete in BALLET competitions like Youth America Grand Prix, Jackson International Ballet Competition, and Prix de Lausanne. Dnacers on track for proffessional ballet career also attend a proffessional ballet school that is linked to a proffesional ballet company by age 15, however they've had many years with a pre-proffessional ballet school before that.

Do male ballet dancers have to wear tights to perform?
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.
How much is the ballet costumes cost?
This depends on what type of costume you are talking about. Most small studios order pre made costumes that normally cost around $80. On the other hand, professional, custom fitted tutus may cost up to $2500. This high cost depends on how many layers of tulle the tutu has and how much detailing the top of the tutu has. These tutus are often bought by ballet students in pre-professional ballet academies and youth ballet dancers that compete in competitions like PRIX and such that get you noticed by the ballet companies. Once ballet dancers get excepted into a company, all the costumes are re-worn and fitted to each dancer. The dancers pay no money for the costumes because they are owned by the company and they only wear them for performances.
