 the male dancer
written by Tom             on 05.01. at 21:30:57 - as answer to: MY SON by WORRIED FATHER atIf your son is less than 14 years old, I agree that this forum isprobably not the place for him. But young people learn an awful lotawfully early these days, & if I had a son older than 14, I wouldnot tell him to keep away from here. When I was 15, I could handlea good deal--& would have liked to learn more. Nevertheless, for the very young, I would agree that balletalert isa better choice than this forum, especially since I believe theyhave a special section reserved for young dancers, which can't beaccessed without permission. But the newsgroup, alt.arts.ballet,is also a good choice; we have dancers, choreographers, & theoccasional critic posting there. And spammers & tasteless posters get harsh treatment. In any case, a young boy who's interested in ballet is a rarity, &his interest should be fostered & encouraged. If I may say so, Icongratulate you on your respect for his wishes.
