Anyway, if you or your parents are unsure about whether or not ballet is for men, you need to know that it IS for men and women alike. You need to be aware of some very famous male dancers, and you can show web sites about them to your parents. For example: *) Rudolph Nuryevhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=nuryevhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=nureyev&spell=1 *) Mikhail Barsyhnikovhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=baryshnikov&spell=1
Some movies that feature Baryshnikov, which you can probably find at a video store: *) Turning Point *) White Nights
Also some newer movies with fabulous male dancing: *) Billy Eliot *) Center Stage
Hope this helps, and have fun dancing![/i]
