I am nearly sixteen, and I started ballet at 8, I am in RAD advance class and have been dancing en-pointe for 4 years, I hope to join a reputable ballet company as soon as possible. I look out for auditions when companies comes to my area. I live in Virginia in the Tidewater area.

I was and still the only boy enrolled in my ballet school. My mom drives me up to Richmond to attend boys class on saturdays so I can dance more like a man.

Where I attend class at home, I wear white unitards over white dancebelt. I always wore pink slippers as I started wearing pink from the first lesson.

I get to perform in end of semester or during Christmas. As the only boy, I perform a lot in girls roles, I don't like wearing a tutu but I love ballet so much that I do it to gain experience, I also love to perform in front of an audience. I dances as the Prince in Nutcracker, as well as the doll en-pointe and Chinese Ribbon Dance. In girls role in Swanlake and Sleeping Beauty.  

I do dance as a boy in Hensel and Gretel, A sailor dance my dance mistress help me to choeograph.

I really don't mind dancing in any role as long as I get a chance to perform. I read a lot of stuff on this site, there are people that want to do !!!!! for their own pleasure. You really have to sieve the grain from the chaffe.

You might be from a big city and not understand the tight budget a ballet school runs with. Very few boys in small counties dare to dance ballet because of the stigma attached to the medium, and as you said, you were a ballet dancer you should ubderstand. I bet you never imagine some boys actually love to dance en-pointe when you were in ballet class when you were young! Times have changed and we have to accept ballet should be asexual, a dancer should be well trained in all respests.  

I am from a small county and make do with what is available as a good dance school that teach the proper techniques and wear prescribed attire in class.

Performance is different, if you are serious in ballet to become your career, you do exactly what the school wants.

Enough Said!
