Re: men in dance

Men and ladies have to do very different things on stage --- the men do bigger jumps and lift the ladies, the ladies dance en pointe.  The different training is to get better at the things each gender will be expected to do on stage.

However, it is becoming increasingly apparent as ballet develops that good technique is good technique.  There are very few things taught in men's class that ladies cannot also benefit from --- and very few things in pointe class that men cannot benefit from.
