Anyway, as an adult I still have these same feelings and have been considering taking lessons, but there is one thing that has been stopping me. I consider myself to be transgender. I was born male but feel like a female, this is another thing I have felt ever since the age of six, but because of the abuse I hid it from every one. Even to this day, I have not been able to dress out in public female because I feel so uncomfortable. Anyway, back to my question. If I take ballet lessons, I don't want to have to wear the dull boring ballet clothing made for men, because I REALLY HATE THE WAY ITS MADE AND THE STYLES AVAILABLE! I prefer to wear a womens pink leotard, pink chiffon skirt, white tights and pink slippers. Would this be an acceptable outfit for a class? I wouldn't be made up as a female (wig, makeup etc.) so this is why I am asking for advice. Personally, I feel we place to much emisthes on whats for female and what for males. Females wear males clothing every day and its acceptable, but when its reversed it now becomes a problem. So I should be able to wear what makes me feel comfortable to class.>Also since I would me wearing a skirt would it still be neccessary to get a dance belt? >I would really appreciate any help with this situation and if you could please send your suggestions to my email also bbrownjr@adelphia.net >Thank you all sooo much.>Chelsea Hi Chelsea,You pose a very interesting problem. You are a guy, but want to dance as a girl. Hmm, I think you may have a difficult time finding a dance studio that will permit you to dress as a ballerina. You might want to consider modifying your class attire by wearing a darker colored leotard with some white tights. Guys wearing white tights in a ballet class isn't that unusual, and I'd definately wear a dancebelt!! If you're still equipped with a penis, you will want to protect it!! But wearing a pink leotard and a skirt will not be too well received. Most dance studios are on the look out for guys who take ballet lessons just to satisfy their fetish to wear tights and leotards. You might try private lessons but even there you'd run into trouble dressing as a ballerina. Answers to this message:
