[i]Hi James!<p>There are several troupes of male danseurs that do this type of travesty.<p>Actually, as much as I think the male danseur needs to be displayed for the glory of his masculinity, I don't object to males who imitate female ballerinas for the sake of comedy.<p>No matter how maculine of a ballet performance a male danseur may portray, there are many observers who think male danseurs are effeminine. That's the way most of American society perceives male ballet danseurs. I think society is sick for this, but have to accept reality.<p>I used to run around my apartment area in tights. There was this pro basketball player who always said I was in really good shape. I told him that was because I took regular ballet classes. He told me I was joking. I got this ballet pink ballet bag and showed him my ballet slippers, but he still did not need believe a guy like me took ballet.<p>He was transferred to the LA Lakers, then disappeared in their obscurity.<p>American society does not want to accept masculine danseurs. They will buy tickets for these travesty troupes when male danseurs act as females and laugh. What I say, at least these male danseurs who portray females are getting a decent paycheck. They still are men who love ballet!<p>Demeaning? Society demeans us, whether or not we play into it. If a male danseur is able to continue in his love of ballet acting whatever, God love him!<p>balletboy<p><br>>There is a male troupe of dancers posing as ballerinas on the professional level.I feel that this demeans the male dancers. We have a hard enough time trying to get acceptance from society in general. While accept thier right to do this, I do feel alittle let down by this.<br>[/i]
