Well I am a dancer and have several guy friends who are dancers. he has tons of friends and is very social. I know a few guys(like a fellow dancer) make fun of him and call him gay. He isn't but that is kind of his personality. If you take dancing seriously alot of guys become very famous and are known around the world. If you are a girl or guy interested in dance you should really try it. It takes alot more strength then most people think. I can beat all the other boys and girls in my gym class in the number of pushups i can do.

Why do ballet dancers wear what they do?
This depeneds on if you're talking about a proffessional ballet dancer and a training ballet dancer. Both wear nude pink tights and a leotard. Some dancers also wear skirts over their leotards. The only time a tutu is worn is during a ballet (like Swan Lake) or sometimes basic colored classical (or pancake) tutus are worn suring rehearsal and/or for dancers in ballet trainee programs Houston Ballet II and the San Francisco Ballet trainee program. Short leg warmers are sometimes worn/allowed during the colder months and are almost always only allowed during barre work. Dancers ALWAYS ALWAYS have small neat hair buns. Dancers wear soft pink ballet slippers, and advanced dancers and female proffessional dancers wear pointe shoes (shoes that support you when you are dancing on your toes.) A proffessional ballet dancer is a member of a proffessional ballet company like the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, Washington. These dancers are extremley talented. Their mornings consist of the basic company class and then it's followed by ballet rehearsals. Proffessional dancers dance for about 7 hours a day 6 days a week. A ballet dancer in training attends ballet class several hours a day to perfect his or her ballet technique so, that at age 17 or 18 they are ready to join a proffessional ballet company and pass the ballet company audition. This is extremley hard work and it never gets "easy". Female ballet dancers with very, very strong ballet technique, alignment, and balance who are at LEAST 12 years old do pointe work. In the summer ballet dancers training to become proffessionals attend ballet summer intensives like Boston Ballet's Summer Dance Inetnsive. Ballet dancers also perform in ballets like The Nutcracker and Giselle,and sometimes copete in BALLET competitions like Youth America Grand Prix, Jackson International Ballet Competition, and Prix de Lausanne. Dnacers on track for proffessional ballet career also attend a proffessional ballet school that is linked to a proffesional ballet company by age 15, however they've had many years with a pre-proffessional ballet school before that.

If a female is a ballerina what is a male ballet dancer called?
The term "danseur" is a French term meaning "male ballet dancer." Just as "danseuse" is the female equivalent. And the term "ballerina" actually is an Italian phrase for the PRINCIPAL female ballet dancer. But it has since been used by now to label ANY female taking ballet. Still, just as "ballerina" is a female ballet dancer--"ballerino" is the male equivalent in Italian.
What did ballet dancers first wear?
Ballet dancing appeared in Western Europe and mainly in Italy and France. The first known performance took place in Milan and soon ballet became the favourite pastime of royal families. In the beginning of its history ballet consisted from folk dancing, acrobatics, singing and playing music. At that time there were no clothes designed for dancers so they had to perform in regular garments which were not suitable for exercising some acrobatic elements. By the end of the 17th century ballet dancing had become a professional occupation. Ballet dancers were no longer viewed as royal court entertainers but as professional artists. Ballet gradually moved to theatres and soon the first ballet academy was founded - the Academie Royale de la Danse patronised by Louis XIV of France. At the same time the first opera theatre was opened in Paris. Ballet became more codified and incorporated new turns and pirouettes which made women expose legs when dancing. It was against existing moral principles so female dancers had to wear special drawers as ballet dancers tights were not invented yet.
