 the male dancer
written by Paul at on 11.05. at 09:34:49 - as answer to: Paul, Paul, Paul!!! by balletboy Thanks for all the input...The problem is that i live in Australia and have been looking for a ballet place so if i ever do get the guts i might try it but the onl problem is that every here only has Little Miss Suzzies School of Dance places.I was think about getting one of those teaching videos to start me off... Paul >Paul!>David is soooo right! You only live once!>It doesn't matter if you think your body type is wrong. You're not interested in being a professional danseur! You want the experience!>As far as schools go, look around! I'd suggest looking for a school that has regular recitals or an associated (small or community) ballet company. Don't go to schools like Little Miss Suzzies School of Dance and Basket-weaving! >Don't worry about what others think, just do it! You have to live with yourself. There's no fun in sitting at home with a beer saying I bet I could have done that.>Another story....I would work-out at home in my ballet-togs, then, while cooling down, would walk my dog. There was this pro basketball player who lived down the hall, a big muscular guy. He would watch me and always remark about the shape I was in. I told him I took ballet. He didn't believe it! The next week I showed him my ballet slippers and he said I bought them just to fool him. I bought a shocking pink ballet bag and showed him all the ballet-stuff inside. He still insisted that nobody could be in such shape from ballet. He was traded to Los Angeles as "second-string" and I haven't heard of him since!>You never know what people will think. I happen to be gay and proud of it, but most of my business associates and many of the ladies I take ballet classes with don't believe it. Go figure!>You have to be true to yourself; otherwise you're living a lie!>Go for it!>balletboy Answers to this message:
