OUR PARTNERS
At YPAC we have our dancers use Tagless Tights. Not only are they very durable and last all season (even for our most active dancers), but they are also sensory friendly for our young students and/or dancers with sensitive skin. Say goodbye to "Mom, it's itchy!" with these soft and long lasting tights!
"My daughter is a pre-professional teen dancing 6+ hours per day, 6 days a week. I asked her how many new tights she needed for this year and she told me she doesn’t need any because all her Tagless Tights are still in great shape!"
- Beth H.
