Personally, all my relations in a ballet class have been up there in the shallow stratosphere. Uh, a ballet class just doesn't lend itself to too much seriousness if you know what I mean.

Also, many people into ballet for some reason tend to be "eccentric" in some way,and this holds especially true for women.

Yes, I've met some really strange ones!

A pet peeve of mine is the ballet teacher always seems to hog her flirtations on me, keeping the rest of the ballerinas away. This would be ok with me except that all of my ballet teachers are married.

I dunno, sometimes, its amazing how another male in the class really just losens things up. I really prefer ballet classes with two or more males. Also more males in the class gets it into the teacher's mind to start partnering, and this is true even in beginning ballet classes.

Happy Plies,
