The question I have - a straight male as a ballerina?

Yes, over half of the ballet companies are made up of straight guys. There is a poster on DL who worked with two ballet companies. He confirms this to be true.
I think the episode is based on the scandals at New York City Ballet, where three hunky straight dancers exchanged nudes of women and were fired (one justifiably and the other unjustifiably).

Believe it or not, this is another "ripped from the headlines."

You guys are neanderthals. There are just as many straight male ballet dancers as there are gay male ballet dancers. Taking up ballet has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
Both camps, straight and gay, can point to sex-pigs in their midst.

"Male ballerina?"
It's premier danseur.

OP types narrow and limted just like most straight guys.

Actually, Chase Finlay (above) was one of the three guys fired from New York City Ballet because of the sex scandal. The other got their jobs back (but one got another ballet job in Germany).

Dick Wolf possesses the least creative talent of all successful producers. He really can't think of anything on his own. He just copies whatever he reads in the New York Post this week and changes the names. His shows are boring and follow the exact same format . He's lucky Americans are lurid .

I truly would love to see Chase Findlay's small dong + massive low hanging balls. Someone please leak the videos!!!
TIA.

This is just as offensive, ignorant, and juvenile as scoffing at the idea that there are gay male actuaries and gay male structural engineers. News flash: there are.
Ballet dancers, both male and female, are competitive and highly disciplined athletes. Their graceful moves belie their immense strength.

R15 Yup, Taped it to watch later

Without male ballet dancers, we wouldn't have sights like this.

I only watched it to see John Waters.

I thought they did a good job of showing how vacuous and stupid most male dancers are.

None of the videos they showed rose (or sank) to the level of porn. They failed to even get ringleader "Jason" out of his dance belt.

They cast a black dude as the sole gay dancer in that troupe

Shouldn’t a male ballerina be referred to as a ‘ballerino’?

R2 My sister did ballet, so I've met many straight male dancers. They were mostly from families that did ballet (ie-their parents were ballet teachers) or Mormons.

I watched this last night. Was the girl who played the main ballerina the Folgers coffee sister who flirted with her brother?

Ballet has traditionally also been a way out of poverty for boys from countries like the Philippines, South Africa, Brazil, and Cuba (as well as being a ticket out of the Soviet Union during the Communist era).

r27, what is "the Folgers coffee sister who flirted with her brother"?
by Anonymous | reply 29 | March 28, 2020 4:49 PM |
r30 That Folgers thing never made much of an impression on me, "pay attention" cunt, neither the commercial nor the thread. Folgers coffee was so bad, in my mind, I just made fun of those idiots in the commercials for drinking it.

R31 You ask a question and then call me a cunt for answering... Do you have sand in your vagina or what?

The cunt part was telling me to pay attention, cunt. Pay attention.

Ethan Steifel is not connected to the New York City Ballet scandal as he was a dancer with ABT. He is married to his long-time partner and ABT principal dancer Gillian Murphy.
His co-star in the movie Center Stage is another hunk of ballet, retired ABT dancer Sacha Radetsky.

This is a terrific documentary about hopes and dreams. It has won many awards and gives a real look into what going through ballet school entails.

Sorry, I meant to say "Sasha Radetsky."
