I have a very unsupportive dad. I didn't begin training until after my parents divorced. My dad does not appreciate ballet at all. This is an old issue and not what I'm writing about today.
I had a conversation with my dad last weekend. He feels strongly that ballet training has made me feminine. He says when I was little, I imitated my female teachers and the girls in my class too much. He also says that my male dancer friends are feminine acting and that they have influenced me. He even thinks wearing tights and dance belt makes me move in a girlish way.
I know that most of what my dad says is ignorant. But he has made me think. Could I have some honest opinions about this. Is there anything to what my dad says about this?
