Lightweight and flexible, this sleek model is made from MStevens’ 6-way stretch spandex fabric, Milliskin, offering exceptional stretch—both a benefit and a drawback.
The 2” waistband includes an extra seam to prevent rolling and stays invisible under tights or unitards. However, the pouch lacks padding, with only two layers of spandex, meaning anatomical details may show instead of the typical rounded shape. The narrow thong minimizes material but rides deep, making removal uncomfortable.
Though praised for comfort (“feels like nothing on”), the lack of structured support isn’t ideal for jumps or partnering. Popular with slim younger dancers, size S fits a 24″ waist, but most should size up.
Fabric: 77% Nylon / 23% Lycra
Handle with care: wash in cold water and hang dry, as it stretches over time and loses support.
M Stevens dance belts are sold online and through select retailers.

“UNCBlue94” says: I loved the idea of the moisture-wicking fabric (most of these are cotton), but the belt has no support. It covers okay, but it doesn’t hold things the way that it needs to.
“Male Student from Victorville, CA: Comfortable and durable, but the sizing runs quite large. I normally wear a medium with most of the other brands, but I had to get an XL with M Steven’s. I wore these under my tights, and it was very embarrassing, because what I saw in the mirror was the outline of what was not to be seen. If you buy this dance belt for your ballet class, or for a performance, please don’t. For other than ballet or performance, these will work fine for Halloween costumes, or any other type of none dance costume.
“Stephen” from Chicago, IL: Superbly comfortable, mediocre support.
“David” from Valley Center, CA: The feel is FANTASTIC! But the fabric doesn’t support well and there is bounce.
“Anonymous” from Pittsburgh, PA: This dance belt is very comfortable. Feels as though you have nothing on. But it doesn’t offer much support. I will probably continue to wear it, but I doubt I will be buying any more.
“Adam” from Vancouver: By far the most comfortable out there. I got around the poor support issue by wearing two at the same time. This way you get the benefit of the soft fabric against your skin with double support 🙂
“Justin”: I used to use this dance belt in ballet class, but it leaves nothing to the imagination and it’s not suited to jumping at all. However it works great under running tights, in fact it’s about the only thing I’ve ever found that makes running tights useful.
“Chris” from Pittsburgh, PA: These are the best and most appropriate dance belts. When I’m dancing I’d rather not have a huge scratchy stiff band around my pelvis, just to prove something. These are also the most ergonomic in shape. Just make sure to get the appropriate snug size for you, and you’re good to go.
“Andy” from Southern California: I was looking for something to wear under tights for running and other fitness activities–not dancing. The fit and feel are incredible. Offers far more support than any other underwear I’ve worn – but I’ve never worn a dance belt before. You can’t tell you’re wearing them.
“Joe”: Though this dance belt is very comfortable, the nylon/spandex fabric does not support you and, if you buy it, expect to bounce during jumps and turns.
“Chancie”: Fits good, stretches and comes back to shape good. Gives your boys a good hold while dancing. The thong string is thin so its not like having underwear wedged, you get use to the feel fast and its not uncomfortable.
Anonymous Male Student: M Steven’s dance belt is definitely comfortable and durable, but the sizing runs quite large. I normally wear a medium with most of the other brands, but I knew I had to get an XL with M Steven’s. I wore these under my tights, and it was very embarrassing, because what I saw in the mirror was the outline of what was not to be seen. If you buy this dance belt for your ballet class, or for a performance, please don’t. For other than ballet or performance, these will work fine for Halloween costumes, or any other type of none dance costume.
