 the male dancer
written by Tyler at on 20.07. at 09:50:32 - as answer to: Male Dancers by Ami And most kids would accept it. Tyler >I'm not a ballet dancer, but my daughter wants to be. I don't know if it's because I love to watch ballet or not, but I think that it's a wonderful idea. However, my son is interested in ballet also. He told me so, but said that instead of ballet school, he would rather learn martial arts. He's a sensitive child who just wants to be liked by the other kids his age. His sensitivity has gotten him called a faggot/gay (wish these kids would look these words up in the dictionary and use them correctly), and he doesn't want to be called anything else hurtful. I respect all of you male dancers, and I'm glad that you take pride in your art. How can I help my son realize that men who dance ballet are not homosexuals? Do I have do like Jean-Claude van Damme did, and have him take martial arts at the same time? I'm tired of him being hurt. I just want him to be happy, and do what he wants to do, and not worry about what the other kids think, but I can't build his self-esteem for him. Any words of advice? Answers to this message:
