Boys doing pointe
Have just spent a joyful few minutes guffawing at that, terrylene
But to be serious for a moment. The boy on pointe in that vid is dancing Aurora in the final act of Sleeping Beauty. It's a showy-offy bravura bit for a prima ballerina. And the kids do it role-reversed, so the male "Aurora" does the bit where he holds an attitude on pointe, unsupported while he takes a rose from the (now) female suitor-princes etc etc.
But what's interesting is that as a trained boy, he does all the choreography for Aurora, the sleeping beauty (and he's a lovely fluid dancer) - he can do all the steps, and he's not camping it up or trying to "be" female. He can do the split on one leg (penché) and the turns, and the fluid arms & back. So the steps in ballet aren't sexed or even gendered - but it's the way they are put together in the choreography & the story telling, and the style any particular dancer gives them.
Very instructive in showing the stupidity of the "I want to dance the girl's ballet" and "If I want to dance ballet, I must be a girl" guff.
Does this mean that because I stumble through a breaking/street dance/hip hop class every week (I am good at ballet & terrible at street dance) I'm really actually a young man? Because breakdance is for boys & young men, isn't it
