If you are realy interested in this form of dance, go for it. Your mom may be prejudiced against a boy in ballet. I am gay and have been dancing for 7 years. But sexual preference is not the point. There are a lot of straight and gay people in all sorts of work.

Wearing tights, slippers etc does not mean it has to be associated with anything else but dance. Ballet without males complementing the ballerina will just be imcomplete, It should be an expressive form for both sex to to achieve harmony.

Ask your mom to let you to attend class,and for permission to watch you do in dancing,and by all means, try to attend class with other boys.

She might change her preconception about a boy in ballet, wear the dress code as a boy. You have to experience the disclipine to know whether you want to be a dancer or not.

I guess if you are good enough or have the natural ability to express yourself in this medium, go for it regardless of what ignorant people think of you.

Please remember gay or straight is not the point, what you want to do is keep on working to your best abilities is what it counts.

         >I have asked my mom about doing ballet again and she told me to get it out of my head, I told her about my friend who does it and the first thing she said, is he gay or something, it kind of makes me mad that they can't be more serious about it. Can sombody help me with this?
