My mother has always taken me to see dance. I even wanted to do ballet for awhile. My school wanted me to play rugby. Strangely soccer was the compromise.
When I was taking music at primary school a movie called Flashdance had come out and the leg warmer was all the rage. This doesn't make any sense, but fingerless gloves don't make sense either. I had a pair of leg warmers. Actually, I had two pairs.
My class were all sitting around in a circle. The music teacher asked us all to say what our favourite piece of clothing was. When it came to my turn I was quite pleased that I had remembered my leg warmers and I told the class knowing they would be impressed by my originality.
Most of the people in the class laughed at me. They did it in a sort of nasty way. There was a bit of talking behind hands and sniggering as well. My music teacher was rather nice and moved things along while I remained confused. At the end I asked my friend James why everyone laughed. He said: "girls wear leg warmers".

Fingerless gloves are good for playing double bass outside, oh gay one armed friend.
The man at the front has cold legs. The man behind him has cold calves, but his thighs are fine. See how versatile the leg warmer was?
Why isn't the girl, third from the front, wearing any? Maybe leg warmers are a more male thing after all, maybe you're not gay!
John Wayne, come to think of it, sometimes wore leather leg warmers when he was starring in a western. I don't think that John Wayne was gay. Maybe the girl in the photo is a lesbian? Ah, this is all getting too damn complicated! Why did you have to go and write about dancing in the first place?
