A dance belt is an undergarment that boys and men wear for dance, especially under tights. It's designed to support and conceal your genitals, kind of like a jockstrap would be worn in sports. However, a dance belt is a thong, because straps or a full back would show through tights. It has a very wide waistband to keep it in place, and a very tight, supportive pouch, sometimes lined for comfort and to keep things from showing through tights.

What are dance belts?

Dance belts are specialized athletic supporters designed specifically for dance. Like other athletes, male dancers need to support their genitalia to avoid injury. However, dance tights are form-fitting, so any conventional underwear or jockstrap shows right through them. Dance belts avoid these lines by eliminating the jockstrap's rear leg straps and replacing them with a thin thong that goes between the buttocks. In front, a dance belt features a strong supportive pouch, sometimes double layered or lightly padded to obscure the details of the male apparatus beneath, forming a smooth "Ken Doll" bulge under tights. They are worn with the dancer's penis oriented in an "up" position. Beginning at puberty all male dancers should wear a dance belt under their tights every time they dance. Actually they should wear one for dance even if they don't wear tights. They are the best protection to avoid getting hurt doing some of the movements peculiar to ballet (for example -5th position, beats, and sautés changement). Although an argument can be made for all boys to wear a dance belt irregardless of age, dance belts for young boys are very hard to find.
