It was originally designed, as all sports and most things back in the dark ages, for men only. But this is back when ballet wasn't really... "ballet." Ballet like it is now. Evolution is a natural process for anything. But ballet was originally ballroom dancing in big, heavy, clunky costumes. The shoes had heels and they were like work-boots. Over time, ballet became lighter, most graceful. Acrobatic. Gymnastic. And thus it became more of a sport for women. One that the women themselves would really be more equipped for, to excel at. It was for the boys... then it was ALL about the girls.

But... the boys seem to be finding their way back in.
