In most college classes I've taken, the people have signed up to have agood time, not perfect their plies. I've noted there are probably just as many women with a leotard fetishas men, especially in a ballet class, and they Enjoy (with a capital E)the attentions of men. In fact, any man in a ballet class is apt to receive more attention than other students. Believe me, the last thing on my mind when going to ballet class ishow well I've perfected my moves. Best J.S.
