See my post above to Dr. Dancebelt.

So let me ask you the truth....did you ever think to consult a male danseur about what was needed for your boys?  Not that there's something wrong with not asking, because women have never been given the credit in this area!

Now you'll see my feminist bull-sh*t!  Moms are always told by Coach what their boys need.  Moms submit to Coach!  Coach tells you your boys need shorts and soccer shoes and whatever, and mom runs out and buy it.  You moms have been subjugated when it comes to athletics for your boys.  The same translates into dance!  But there's no ballet Coach to tell you what the boy needs, so you have to improvise!

In some ways, male ballet dansuers are thought of as gay.  So why would a mom what to consult such a man for advice for her boy?  Sure, the male danseur has valuable advice, but if maybe he's gay what horrors might he suggest for your boy?

But you have to be vigilent.  But you still have to look to some males in dance for advice.  Maybe on this board you can see whom you can trust and whom you cannot.
