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). 

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.
