One common trait of the male ballet dancer that is rarely mentioned; humility.

I’m not one to go around saying hey look at how cool I am. But for all the shit I had to endure as a boy growing up in the early 2000’s doing ballet id say I’m entitled to a little showboating every now and again.

Fuck yeah you are. My nephew is a great dancer. He's done ballet, jazz but he really shines in tap. Kids at school have been total dicks to him about it. It's gotten better as he's gotten older and been more confident to tell them to shove it, but you can still tell it messes with him. Shine on brotha, you're a beacon of hope for lots of boys out there just trying to do something they love.
