SanderO Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 If you visit the South Bronx (SoBo) you can see that "dance" is everywhere in the hip hop culture and especially among young boys. It is the more formal dance and especially the esoteric ballet which is a performance art as opposed to a recreational type of dance... as ballroom or other popular social dancing.. where the "problem" lies. This is an "image" thing perhaps... one that appeals to young girls but not to young boys. Link to comment
mom1962 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 My 11 year old son is currently a student at the Washington School of Ballet. He was at the Kirov Academy over the summer and loved it. I know he wants to go there as a year-round student next fall, (he was offered a space this year), but I'm not sure about this. I'm not a dancer and could really use some advice about both programs. The posts about male dancers have been really helpful. Thank you. Link to comment
