    why worry it's not a femine thing Some of the world  renowned male dancers include Nijinsky, Diaghilev, Fokine, Baryshnikov, Nureyev, and come from all over the world, perhaps one day that could be your son making it big..

    If he is happy and enjoying it, I don't see a problem, there are a lot worse things he could be doing. My son when he was little took a dolly everywhere, hubby was horrified, I couldn't see a problem until one day he ripped up his shirt and told me he was breastfeeding, I turned to find his sister standing at the checkout with half a muskstick up each nostril, still not sure which was worse

    Bwaaahahahahaha!!!That is classic!! Children are great! I'm sure both turned out just find :)

    Do you know how many men have grown up to be dancers of ballet and are just as hetero as the next guy? Don't worry about it. Love of dance does not equate to being gay. I suspect that's what you're worried about. 

    It is the "uniform" of the dancer.  Do you find it odd that football players wear such skin-tight pants (and pat each other on their firm little butts?).  Baseball players in a heap of testosterone after winning a championship series?    
    Dance is very, very athletic.  Balance, strength, endurance, gymnastic, poise, acting.....
    Encourage him in his "sport" and be thankful he has something he loves that is healthy (and legal).   

    Can't see a problem with that, as long as he is happy. He may make a fortune one day, good luck to him.

    Would you be so upset if he was wearing a Boy Scout uniform?  Same difference........

    I wonder if Patrick Swazey and John Travolta's parents were worried about their lads love of dance.


    I find the singlets worn by wrestlers and the Gangstra pants worn by so many to be much more offensive and worrisome. As well as the short shorts worn by some school volleyball teams.


    Don't sweat the uniform, be proud of the dedication. Dance is not easy,

    What are you worried about ?

    Reagan's son did ballet, I couldn't if my life depended on it.

    My 14-year old grandson is dancing the lead role (young prince) in the Nutcracker Ballet in Chicago next month. He's been dancing since he was about 7. None of us are worried about a single thing. We're just thrilled that he has found his passion at such a young age. How many of us do?? He wants to be a professional dancer when he grows up. Good for him!
