Lesson goals 

At the end of this class, you will be able to understand and form your own opinion on how stigmas influence boys/men in dancing.

What can I expect from period 4? 

- kijk/luistervaardigheid test (CITO) in Woots

- grammar/vocab test Unit 3 combined with a reading test (CITO) in testweek 4

Keep in mind the Boys Program at the School of American Ballet. What is your opinion on teaching youth ballet or any other type of sports at such an early age?

Check: Listening exercise 2 

Let's check listening exercise 2 together. Any questions about the video? 

I believe that there is a stigma surrounding boys/men who want to pursue a career in dance.

I agree

I disagree

For those who agree:
Why do you think this and can you think of any examples of stigmas?
For those who do not agree: Why do you think this?

Interesting facts

" Data compiled by Doug Risner, a professor of dance at Wayne State University in Detroit, shows that only 32 percent of male dancers have fathers who support their desire to dance"(Dance Magazine, 2019). 

"In general, dance is associated with the feminine because it links to the ethereal figure of a dancer. At the dawn of the theatrical ballet, only men had access to the great court ballet. A while later, if the ladies danced, they would do it solo. And there were very few shows where male dancers and female dancers mixed" (Dancesportlife, 2017). 

"In ancient Greece, warriors used dance as part of their training, to the extent that the phrase attributed to the famous philosopher Socrates is 'the best dancer is also the best warrior'" (Dancesportlife, 2017).

Do you think it is important to tell stories like the Boys Program at the American School of Ballet or men practicing Hula in Hawaii?

Let's read to find out more!

Together we are going to read "Tom tapping away at male dancers' stigma" in Unit 3 Paragraph 4. 

Next, you will work individually on reading exercises 5-6-7. 

We will discuss this later on.
