>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.

Three little words.....GO FOR IT!!!!Get your girlfriend to take classes with you. It may even spice up your relationship!!!
