Go look up the Trockadero's, an all-male ballet troupe that plays both mens' and women's classical parts.

>I know this subject has come up before, but I just saw a performance of a local dance group here in Illinois and in one of the numbers, one of the boys, about age 10, was dancing a girls part as a "toy doll" in a tutu and all. I also once played a girls role in a school play a few years ago. My question is, who has or knows anyone else who has performed on stage in dance or theatre as a member of the opposite sex, and what is the policy of each dance company when it comes to this? I know its very common to see girls playing boys roles, soldiers, etc...but it seems to be rare when boys do it. Any thoughts? By the way, I am an 18 year old male dancer from Illinois. Thanks![/i]
