I can also assure you that when I say I get no negative response to my wearing of leotards, again it's nothing to do with "fear" or "shock response" as I do indeed get many Positive comments, particularly from women & my teachers.I can also assure you that I do indeed actually study Dance, in particular Ballet, so as to actually use it in my job and I started wearing leotards as I do doing Trapeze & Circus Acrobatics.I think if you check back in history, Mr. Leotard was actually the first "daring young man on the flying trapeze" and designed and wore the garment which now carries his name for such activities.I do try to blur traditional boundaries in many ways, but not for "shock" or conflict & I just feel the best way to remove such polarised ideas & pregidises is to be open & accept people as they are.Clothes don't make the Man, or the Woman!!Hope this clears up any ambiguities & bad feelings inadvertently stirred up.Please everyone, just chill, enjoy dance for how it makes you feel, whatever your wearing!!!
