Question:

Why do male ballet dancers not go en block?

I was watching a TV programme last night about the trials of young ballet dancers and I have always wondered why male ballet dancers do not go en point.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Mainly because en point looks feminine.

Many male ballet dancers get training en point, so they are fully capable of it, but it is not common for them to perform en point.
