Boys Dancing - Keeping That Big ‘Nutcracker’ Party Coed |
 On the school steps a
little brother in a denim jacket played with an action
figure. Two boys on bikes stopped to ask what was
happening, heard the words “ballet tryouts” and cycled
on. Near the back of the line, a slender boy in sweat
pants and a T-shirt waited quietly with his parents and
sister. So far he was the lone auditioning boy in a sea
of girls. In 2007 being the only boy — at an audition, in a
class, in a recital — is still a routine experience for
ballet students in the United States. Men are well
represented at the highest ranks of American ballet: at
New York City Ballet, for which the school is the
official academy, men (many of them foreign-born) make
up more than 50 percent of principals and soloists and
also hold the posts of ballet master and resident
choreographer. Still, at the entry level boys remain a
distinct minority. Of the 544 New York-area children
ages 6 through 10 who turned out for the School of
American Ballet’s open auditions in May, just 65 were
boys.

Dance pole
gains popularity |
|
Once thought of as
taboo, dance found in strip joints enjoyed by
fitness devotees
Practitioners are adding dance poles less
delicately known as stripper poles to rooms from
the basement to the boudoir. Some of the users
see pole dancing as a way to add a little
excitement to a relationship, but for most it's
a way to get Madonna arms and Britney Spears
abdominals while enhancing their sensuality.
Besides, it's fun, said Kim Brown, who has a
dance pole in the basement of her Jackson
Township home and teaches pole-dancing classes.
Brown spends about a half-hour every day or
two working out with a stationary pole mounted
atop a small stage, performing graceful spins
and ab-crunching lifts. It's a taxing regimen
that works many parts of her body, she said, but
she finds it so enjoyable that she hardly
realizes she's exercising.

Shoes / Sneakers |
I have various
types of dance shoes for different
occasions. Some of my shoes
look like regular street shoes,
while other look like ballroom
shoes. The pair that I wear
most frequently are Dance Sneakers
by Sansha. These are perfect
for jeans but look horrible if worn
with shorts or skirts.
