 the male dancer
written by Dan               on 01.11. at 11:54:57>I'm in what I hope may be a familiar situation. I'm a 27-year-old straight man, and have felt a strong urge to learn ballet since I was a young boy. The urge to dance, however, is very much at odds with the fear of being perceived as wierd, which is frustrating. I feel that my girlfriend and family would be pretty shocked, and I know my friends and workmates would just take the piss, so I'd feel very uneasy about 'coming out' to them. >What have people's experiences been? How have people reacted with you, and how did you deal with it? I'd be interested in anything anyone cares to share. Just do it! You'll always wonder what it was like, and besides, don't miss out on the most wonderful thing you could ever do for yourself. You'll also make new friends that are both supportive and accepting. You will also experience a new uninhibited sense of sexual freedom and inner fulfillment as you bond with your ballet classmates. Answers to this message: |
