Hints and Tips for Using Tights, Sock and Stocking Aids Or Equipment Hints and Tips for using tights, sock and stocking aids or equipment These products are designed to prevent you from bending; so sit back and upright in your seat, drop the aid onto the floor, and wiggle your toes in whilst staying sitting upright. If you find it difficult using these products on a chair, you could try sitting up in bed and using it there as your legs will be better supported. If you are using an aid with a cord pull keep the tape an equal length each side so that you have a firm even grip. Pull up evenly on both sides. If you are using an aid with tape that you pull we suggest that you may want to loop the tape around your hand, this helps prevent the tape slipping when you pull it through your fingers. You could create a loop at the point you generally pull from so you can just slip your hand through the loop each time you use the aid (see picture). If you have difficulty putting on socks, tights etc, it is easier not to wear tight clothing such as very close fitting tights (you could always try the next size up). Sprinkling talc on any of the products can make it much easier to slide your foot in. To reduce the amount of bending/leaning involved in using these products you may find it easier to bring your foot up and rest it on a chair in front of you. If you are using an aid please be patient when learning how to use it and persevere as with practice you can find them very useful. © 2016 ADL Smartcare Limited, all rights reserved Page 1 of 1 .

  • Why the Tights?
    YOUdance Youth Outreach Understanding Dance Why the Tights? Both male and female dancers wear tights causing a variety of responses (especially for the men in tights) ranging from it being okay and esthetically pleasing to snickers and giggles. So let's find out why the tights. What is fascinating about this is that it is that nobody gives a second thought about athletes who wear tight fitting clothes. Cyclists, wrestlers, swimmers, scuba divers and gymnasts all wear clothing which reveals the size and shape of the body. For some the design is a matter of speed. Look how the competitive swimming gear has changed over the years each year becoming tighter and in some cases skimpier and designed to shave off fractions of seconds in an effort to win medals. The same is true for cyclists. Even skiers while not yet in unitards, are now wearing one or two piece tighter fitting gear. Gymnasts, like dancers, have a series of needs to be met. For example, muscles work better when they are kept warm and tights help keep the heat in. Furthermore, their chosen sport or art is designed for esthetic appreciation; line and design are of great importance. In dance we need to see intricate foot and leg movement. Bulkier clothing would not only hide the movement but also get in the way of its execution. Believe it or not, tights actually originated from men’s clothing. If we go back far enough in time (middle ages) we would find that most men wore tunics (long shirts or short close-fitting coats) and leggings (tight fitting) which were just legs—no seat.

  • Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy
    BALLET THEATRE OF CARMEL Welcome to the Ballet Theatre of Carmel’s 2015-2016 Season! This packet contains infor- mation to give parents a general idea of what to expect regarding their dancer’s participa- tion in BTC. Subject to Change. GENERAL SCHEDULING The rehearsal schedule is communicated via email and posted on the bulletin board near studio 1. It is subject to change so be sure that BTC emails are making it to your inbox. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS Your dancer's requirements are listed by level here http://ballettheatreofcarmel.org/ about/required-classes. - If your dancer does not meet their class requirement during a given week, you will re- ceive a reminder e-mail listing the number and type of classes to be made up. - Make-up classes can be attended either the week of or the week before an absence, as well as after the fact. So if your dancer has absences that are planned (family vacation, fi- nal exams, school presentations, etc), you can avoid an e-mail notification and spread out necessary make-up classes. - Even if you told us why your dancer will be missing class, you will still receive a notice if your dancer's total is below the requirement. - When attending make-up classes, please pick up (or remind your dancer to pick up) a make-up class form from the front desk. This will help ensure that the student’s atten- dance is marked properly in the roll book. - Occasionally you may receive an e-mail notice in error. Please let us know if this is the case, so the attendance records can be updated.
