A lot of people see male ballot dancers as being
effeminate and find the art emasculating, but you must know that dance is a
wonderful form of expression. Dancers narrate stories from a variety of
different orientations including anything from happiness to darkness and death.
Ballet originated in France and structure and techniques alone are more complex
than most dance genres. Not only that, ballet teaches you the fundamentals of
all dances. Even football players take ballet classes. So, even though football
is seen as the most masculine sport, they use an art that is viewed as feminine
to help them be better and their “masculine” sport. The Benefits of taking ballet as
a football player helps them with their flexibility, strength and stamina. Just
imagine the immense amount of hours practicing grande jeté, pliés, and lifts or
land on your feet gracefully without losing balance. Even hip-hop dancers need
to work on their plies. Male hip-hop dancers should not be the only dancers
that are considered masculine, when clearly it is highly intertwined with
ballet. We should really move away from this idea that male ballot dancers are
gay or feminine simply because of the genre of dance they perform.
