>Thanks, my parents(especially my mom)are quite supportive of my femininity and ballet,

THAT's GREAT!  You are very fortunate to have parents like that.  My childhood was a little less supported.  But, I survived.

> Will talk to mom about your offer, I would also like to know more, in general terms, what you can do before I call you directly from my e-mail address.

Sounds like a plan.  I would suggest that you get a hotmail account, like I have.  It is a safe way to send and receive Email without someone knowing your REAL Email and potentially bothering you.

Anyway, I have a friend who is the head of an all-male ballet company.  They are not the Trokes, but they treat their dancers MUCH better.  I am not sure how old you are, but when you are at a level where you can audition, I would be happy to put you in contact with my friend.  His group also tours the world.

I have seen his company perform and the dancing was stronger and less campy than the Trokes.  If I were younger, and had taken that ballet scholarship I was offered as a kid, THAT is where I would want to be dancing!

As for me, I am a heterosexual male and live and work in Hollywood in the film industry.  I've also modeled, I take ballet for fun and exercise.  I am also a crossdresser ("transvestite", but that sounds so clinical) who writes for the magazine, GIRL TALK, a fun non-porn magazine for crossdressers.

I hope all is well with you and hope to hear from you soon.
