As far as becoming friends with someone in class..  I would ask your potential friend for dance advice.  That's something you both can relate to and that's why you're there in class, right?  Nothing threatening or flirtatious about it.  Ask something like.."are your shoulders level when you turn"..come across as genuinely wanting advice.. or does she know where you can order ballet stuff, can she recommend a good catalog or store..  And then give her a warm smile and thank you..  then the next time you talk will be easier.   Ask if she's seen the new "Centerstage" movie everyone's been talking about..  or if she wears pointe shoes, ask if they're really as painful as you've heard they can be..just some ideas..  If there is chemistry, you'll keep talking.  Good luck to you hope this has helped.  

>Two part question for WOMEN ONLY to answer.  >Do women honestly like seeing a man wearing a pair of ballet tights in class or >in private, and would you date a man that does???>If a man is in a ballet class, and wishes to approach a woman to make FRIENDS with, where is the line drawn between making friends and actually "hitting" on one in hopes of landing a real date??? Looking for straight, real, answers, not sexual ones.
