[i]> To be honest, males in tights are girly, or gay. Many dance sweetly, but ballet is for women and girls. Males(?) prancing around thinking women look as you as masculine is a joke!<p>Oh, well...I thought something like that, too, when I was 18. I<br>grew out of it, however.... A little historical perspective helps.<br>Once you've learned about some of the great 18th-century dynasties<br>of male dancers--the Vestris family, the Viganos--you begin to see<br>things in a different light.<p>Then there are those 20th-century "sissies," like George Balanchine<br>& his string of wives, or Baryshnikov & his girl friends, or Eddie<br>Villella & his two wives, or Kent Stowell who runs the Pacific<br>Northwest Ballet with his wife Francia Russell, or Paul Mejia, who<br>married Suzanne Farrell out from under Balanchine's nose...the list<br>goes on & on...<p>But you know, I don't care. If I want to do a thing, I'll do it.<br>If it were possible to prove that I was the only non-gay male<br>ballet dancer in the entire history of the art, from the time of<br>Catherine di Medici clear down to the present day, I'd still take<br>classes. I like doing it, I like the way if feels moving that<br>way, & I'm not about to ask anyone's permission.<p>Tom Parsons[/i]
