The reason for why ballet dancers wear tights is for flexibility of movement. Ballet dancers have to kick and move their legs a lot during the dance and therefore their clothing needs to give them the freedome to do so.

Tights provide light compression of the muscles in the leg and foot which improves circulation and helps dancers to “feel” their legs and engage the correct muscles.
