some football players take it for better balance. so yeah why not. the women will probably think youre gay...and so will others..but that's something you'd have to live with.

for the record i'm gay.

I don't know .. but I have seen a lot of men on television who ballet.

Of course you can take ballet. I take it and love every second of it. Fact is their is about the same amount of girl ballerina's as boy ballerino's.

Many men take ballet lessons... as a matter of fact some football team players take them as they are great for building muscle tone and agility. Here is a link to one of the most famous Russian ballet dancers:

loads of men take ballet but best started at young age as very disciplined, have you thought of jazz, my daughter is a jazz teacher and even tho it is ballet based she reckons you might enjoy this more than ballet as it involves dancing and exercise.

Some men take ballet. I wouldn't say a lot. And every single one of them is as gay as the day is long.

My father was a superb dancer and studied Ballet.
And he was definitely NOT gay.

Ballet is a great art. Who cares what people think, if you want to do ballet, do it. A lot of football players do ballet to become flexible.

yes a lot of men do take ballet!!

you do not see a ballet company which is just full of females do you ?? NO

but u do see a ballet company full of males!!

males are there to make the females look good!!

i was speaking to my A-level pe teacher about male dancers and at his uni it was close to a vocational training school Rambert school of ballet , and there was competition of fitness between the rugby players and the male ballet dancers!

guess who one .... yes the male dancers!!

my teacher wasn't impressed by this as he admitted himself that he felt ballet wasn't suitable for men b4 this took place! now he has changed his mind :D

my brother is a male dancer training at a professional school (elmhurst school of dance in association to the Birmingham royal ballet company) and all of his friends older and now in the company are brill and SO strong!!

a lot of guys take ballet. some of the best dancers are men. the ballets would be nothing unless there were men with the women. ballet is a great way to build and tone muscles and become flexible in every part of your body. ballet is amazing but it takes a ton of physical effort and mental effort.

Its great exercise and very helpful for other athletic skills...plus, male ballet dancers have bangin bodies the ladies will love it lol

sure why not? It will really strenghten you, a lot of football players took it (Lynne Swann from the Steelers, fyi, and he could JUMP). It's really good for that kinda stuff.
