MrsMoo2 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 In Ikea at the weekend, I turned round and my 10 year old DS had a plastic carnation in his teeth dancing a flamenco! đ It was super super busy too! Then another time he started dancing at a Christmas lights switch on and a little group of people formed round him thinking he was the entertainment!! đđđ I love our dancing boys...xxx 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 That's making me smile when I badly need to - thank you, Mrs Moo2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwel Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just in case anyone is interested and not seen this elsewhere.  One for the boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletbean Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just seen this on FB. Thought I would post in under a couple of different headings as they are looking for boys. Makes a change đ.   AUDITION NOTICE: We're looking for talented boys to join us on stage in our brand new production of #BRBNutcracker at the Royal Albert Hall this Christmas with auditions being held in London this weekend. Applicants must be in school years 5, 6 or 7 (from September 2017). The maximum height for boys taking part is 142cm and ideally, we're looking for boys who enjoy dancing and love to perform. Previous ballet experience is an advantage, but not necessary. Interested? Please email Katie in our education team by 5pm on Friday 6th October ( KatieMann@brb.org.uk) for further details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 From today's Dance Links, a very long, and rather depressing, read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ballet-bullying_us_59d5148ce4b0218923e724bf  Ironically, despite the author stating that about half of boys/men doing ballet are straight, the article seems to concentrate very much on the ones who aren't.

Nicola H Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 US article though and the US  secondary school system is reportedly much more polarised , plus the US does seem to have a rather schizoid  attitude towards sexuality matter in general.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought exactly the same thing. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYR Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I think their point was that it doesn't help the ones who *are* gay to emphasise that you don't have to be gay. Also, there's a point of principle involved about not making excuses. That said, I can't imagine "Well, yes, it's kind of gay but there's nothing wrong with that" going over terribly well in the playground as a matter of day-to-day tactics. Â It also reminds me of something I recently read about all those programmes to encourage girls to program computers - there's research suggesting it's actively counterproductive, because it calls attention to the stereotype. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
