Boys & Ballet

​

Many boys may initially rebel against the idea of showing interest in anything that may be considered "girl things". Ballet is something that males of all ages usually associate with girls. It is important to note that ballet is far from being strictly a "girl" activity. Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rudolf Nureyev are two of the greatest ballet dancers in history. Both of these dancers were males. Find out more about boys in ballet
