How do you change people's negative mindset about male ballet dancers?

Today the mind set that people have about male ballet dancers has changed a great deal compared to even as short a time ago as 30 years. you can change the mindset in those people close to you by simply being what you are and those that are not close to you and have some preconceived ideas shouldn't matter anyway you cant educate everyoneANSWER: First you march on Washington and demand that civil rights be given to male ballet dancers. A male dancer parade or two wouldn't hurt and bake sales and cake walks are always fun. If male ballet dancers weren't so uptight all the time maybe people wouldn't take such a negative view of them. I think male ballet dancers have a negative mindset about people who don't go to the ballet, which only drives a bigger wedge into the culture gap. Perhaps we could have a town hall meeting and resolve this. Also, maybe the male ballet dancers could petition the court, or apply for a fictitious business name with the city and find a better term than male ballet dancers.


Why do ballet dancers earn so little?

Ballet dancers earn very little because most of the money from a performance goes to the commpany or to the venue. Ballet dancers cannot go on strike because they would be immediately replaced by dancers who say they will work for free. People become balet dancers because they love to dance not because they wan't to be rich.


Are ballet dancers fitter than footballl players?

Hell yes ballet dancers are stronger. Footbal players are all meat and muscle that isnt true. Ballet dancers also can go on pointe it takes extreme muscle time and effort to do that. Anyone can doggie pile like an idiot but can anyone do a double pirouette on pointe? The answer is no.


What to expect at a ballet performance?

Well... Most people go to enjoy the beautiful, graceful, and angelic dancers.


How many years do professional ballet dancers dance?

Until they begin to find what they are doing too hard and it becomes dangerous for them to continue. This happens quite early on as ballet takes a lot of hard work and strength which usually only the younger dancers can provide. Also, many ballet dancers get arthritis from using their bodies in a way that it was not designed for. The average age that a ballet dancer will retire is about 25 - 35, depending on the general health and fitness of the dancer. After this however, many dancers go on to teach ballet until the usual age of retirement, 60 - 65.
