1) This is the dress code for both his studio, and every major summer intensive he has ever auditioned for.
2) He was 10 when this video was taken. He is now almost 14. If you want to see more recent work of his, look at my other videos.

Hmmm, he needs improving on turnout, posture, stretching of the positions and feet, upper body, but apart from all that, he could have some potential ( BTW im a pro ballet dancer in a company i would know)

I studied Ballet also, and your son had beautiful control, especially
in his footwork, I'm so pleased he got in and continues to do
something he loves. Ballet is a wonderful world!

@tauwillow NICE!
How old was he when he started? My youngest one loves ballet & she has been taking classes since she was 5. My ? to u is. Did he tell u he wanted to dance or did u notice that he might be good @ it? With me it was both. I just hope she keeps it up & makes it pro. Ur son is wonderful, Is he still dancing?

He was 5 when he started. We had heard that our local studio was giving scholarships to boys - so I looked at mine and asked who wanted to try ballet. He has been involved ever since, and loved it right away.
He is still dancing! He is a freshman in HS at UNCSA. :)

What I know about ballet would fit comfortably in the period at the end of this sentence, but I have to applaud the courage of ANY boy in this culture who, for whatever reason, decides to dedicate so much effort to something as graceful and refined as what I'm seeing now...
From the comments, I gather that he's kept up with his passion and commitment...congratulations! You've inspired me to learn more about the ballet, perhaps even to attend a performance.
Thank You

Thank you so much for your very kind words, they were a treat to read. I do hope you'll take in a performance and enjoy it. Nutcracker season is nearly upon us!

He did! He was given a full scholarship and had the time of his life. He has gone on to other summer intensives, and is now in residence at UNCSA.
