I am a teenager, nearly 16. Started ballet since 8 and pointe work at 12/13. I take 5 regular lessons and 4 pointe work classes a week. I live in a small town in eastern USA and am the only boy in my ballet academy. >There are a few boys in beginners class and they soon drop off. I stuck to it because I want ballet to be my career. >I admit I am very effeminate, especially when I am on pointe and am dancing like a girl and am also gay. But when I dance as a male, I can do tours a la seconde, entrechat 6 and land with confidence, and entrechat six de vole perfectly and be masculine.>I have been getting scholarships for over 4 years. My love of ballet is not a contributing factor to me becoming a "sissy" or gay. I have acted in a feminine way before I saw the very first ballet when my parents brought me to see Nutcracker. I just knew then and there I needed to dance.>My father was always against my dancing until he came to see me in performance, He accepted me and become to love me again. I just don't want any person, boy or girl, that really want to do something that is predormanently filled by the opposite sex to be excluded, because I cannot believe a girl cannot become an astronaut or a boy cannot become a dancer that can dance both in the boy and girl role. >Ballet is an art form that surpasses sex, although I agree a lot of ballet uses sex to attract audiences. Even I, have ambitions to join Ballet Trockadero or Les Grands Ballets, where male dances in femaie roles.>I endured a lot of sneering and jokes from school, attached with so many nicknames. With my mother's encouragment, she helped me to become a good dancer, may I say I am nearly the best, if not the best in ballet - boy or girl, in where I live.>As I said, although I am the only male dancer in my school, I read Dance, Pointe and other magazines about ballet. There are a lot of gays and sissy boys in ballet like me, BUT there are also a lot more straight guys as well. I just hope we all stop the stereotyping. There are people in every profession that are straight and gay.>I hope I don't offend anyone with my openness, I learned already in my early teen that I cannot hide from what I want to do. Please give encouragement to kids of every kind. >Sami Hello Sami,Read your story. Yes, sometimes to do things, you sometimes need to get "hard headed".And Sami, I liked your story.To enjoy our feminine side, like ours, there's nothing wrong with that.Sami, I get very upset, that certain people don't like us wearing tights,or nylons. I am offended by them. NOT by nice people like you.Sami, I love you. Don't forget that. Antworten zu diesem Beitrag:  |
