the male dancer
written by balletboy on 01.05. at 23:12:06 - as answer to: Question about Pointe to Balletboy by Arthur at Arthur: If you have mastered the male movements in ballet, then I think pointe might be interesting. But you have to work on male technique first. Pointe work gives a guy insight into balance and what the women go through, but, in my humble opinion, doesn't do much for male technique. In ballet, men and women have different roles. I think it's more important for the male to focus on male technique, to learn the movements men make in ballet. If you have mastered the male roll, then a nice diversion may be pointe, but only after you've understood the roll of the male in ballet. balletboy Answers to this message:
