    i'm 14 and there is a 15 year old boy who goes to my dance school which doesn't have any boys his age. he's in the grade below me but because he has worked so hard he is moving into our grade this term. i know how much he pushes himself to be better and make our teachers proud to have such a talented person. your eyes are drawn to him more often than most of the girls and it's not just because he's male. it's because you can see he loves it so much and that's what he really wants to do.

    My dad once told my youngest brother , ( I had 7 brothers and a sister) who loved to dance , that if he wanted to dance he could dance, but he would have to work hard at it and that it would not be easy. He told my brother that he loved him ( loved all of us )and that he would be proud of him no matter what he chose to do for a living , as long as it was honest work . My brother was in the 3rd grade at the time of this conversation. My dad was a fighter pilot and flew in three wars. My brother , never forgot the conversation with my dad. He did dance but as time went on decided he wanted to fly jets . So for 25 years he flew for the Marine Corp. and then on to
    Practice Law . He was a wonderful little dancer as was his twin brother. I don’t know what caused him to change his mind but he had the full support of a dad ( 33 year career as a fighter pilot) who was not worried in the least that he had a son who was thinking of a career in the dance world .My dad is coming up on his 94 birthday and still takes care of his own business.

    Male ballet dancers do on average jump very high and a few professional dancers even have vertical jumps in the 40 inch range which rivals top jumpers in the NBA. But let's not exaggerate and claim that they jump higher than NBA players.
    Based on what I've seen in person and based on research papers on professional ballet dancers, the average NBA player has slightly better average vertical jumps than average ballet dancers.

    • @DigitalDezinesCEO

    • @guixien
      @guixien 10 років тому

      The average NBA players jump higher than average male ballet dancers. It's so obvious you don't need a research paper to prove that.

    • @GeorgeOu
      @GeorgeOu 10 років тому +1

      guixien There's data from a paper called "Anthropometric factors affecting vertical jump height in ballet dancers" and you can google it.
      Male ballet dancers in a European ballet company were subjects of a study on body mass index and vertical jump capability. The men averaged between 19.6 to 22 inches in a vertical jump test that used a pressure pad which detected the time a dancer spent in the air. This time-in-air methodology is a bit different what the NBA uses which counts inches even when your toes are still on the ground. The NBA measures the elevation change in the center of gravity.
      The difference is roughly 5 inches between the two methods so we can say professional male ballet dancers jump between 24.6 and 27 inches. Candidates trying out in the NBA combines average 28 inches so one might assume that the successful candidates jump slightly higher than 28 inches. Now the difference here in hang time is probably 1 to 3 inches in favor of NBA athletes which is statistically significant, but let's be clear that ballet dancers aren't chumps when it comes to jumping. Still, the data clearly disproves the video's assertion that ballet dancers jump higher than NBA players.
      Now there are exceptions like Ivan Vasiliev who I've measured out to 40 inches based on my analysis of his jumps on video. I counted the video frames he spent in the air and approximated his vertical jump to 40 inches using the NBA method of measurement. Still, the NBA has athletic freaks like Michael Jordan who had a vertical jump of 48 inches. These numbers make my 30 inches look pretty pathetic, but I'm still in the high 90th percentile when it comes to professional ballet dancers.

    • @ayamicv2710
      @ayamicv2710 10 років тому +5

      The difference is that ballet dancers will be doing either a full splits, tree complete turns or both at the same time while in the air and a NBA player will maybe catch a ball ;)

    • @GeorgeOu
      @GeorgeOu 10 років тому +2

      Basketball players don't just "catch a ball". You go and try jumping over a 10-foot rim while controlling a ball sometimes and tell me how it went.
      I'm a male dancer and I really hate it when people in the dance world knock athletes and other sports. It's arrogant and ignorant. It comes off badly to the general public and it alienates potential fans.
      Yes the male dancer is an amazing athlete and graceful artist, but you'd be foolish to think they're higher jumpers. Most male dancers don't do three turns in the air and when they do a triple tour, only two of those turns don't touch the floor. Female figure skaters are doing triple axles and maybe even some quad jumps.
      Again I'm not knocking male dancers. What we do is amazing in its own right, but please don't make demonstrably false claims about us.
      My first ballet teacher told me that we ballet dancers can't compete with gymnasts on "tricks". What we do best is the elegance of our movements.

    @Shamariah2011 5 років тому +4

    It’s very unfortunate ballet is holding on to traditional ballet where men are partners and women are the flower of the show. Men should be included not only that, they should be allowed to demonstrate and tell stories of love being told through the eye of other genders or sexualities. There’s nothing more disappointing as an emerging dancer than enjoying dance just to find out in your first professional experience that you will always be the partner and never the lead.

    A MALE DANCERS ARE GREAT DANCERS. THEY ARE VERY GOOD IN MARTIAL ARTS, BOXING, BASKETBALL, FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL AND MORE. MALE DANCERS HAVE AGILITY IN RUNNING, DODGING KICKS, PUNCHES IN SELF DEFENSES, JUMPING HIGHER IN BASKETBALL, LEAPING OVER HURDLES, FENCES OR JUMPING OVER A TALLER PERSON IN FOOTBALL BY SCORING A TOUCH DOWN. A MALE DANCER HAS TO VISUALIZE BY FAITH AND ACT UPON IT WITHOUT FEAR, DOUBT, IGNORING NEGATIVITY AND FACING THEIR BIG CHALLENGES. IF BULLIED MALE DANCERS OUGHT TO STICK TOGETHER AS BRAVE MEN BY USING POSITIVE/FIRM WORDS, STICK UP FOR ONE ANOTHER LIKE THE AVENGERS IN THE MOVIE. LOOK AT THE ENEMY STRAIGHT THE EYES WITHOUT FEAR. DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY NEW SPORT BASEBALL, FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL TO BUILD ONE'S CONFIDENCE AS BEING MALE. YOU CAN LEARN TO PLAY A SPORT BY OBSERVING TV OR GOING TO YOUR FRIEND'S BASKET BALL PRACTICE, BASEBALL PRACTICE, FOOTBALL PRACTICE TO GET SOME IDEAS ABOUT THE GAME/OR SPORT. I HAVE LEARN TO HOLD A BAT, PLAYING CATCH WITH A FRIEND, PRACTICE THROWING A FOOTBALL/OR BASEBALL OR WATCHING MY FAVORITE SPORTS ON TV. USE DUMB BELLS TO DEVELOP STRONGER ARMS OR PERFORM PUSH-UPS, CHIN-UPS ON A BAR OR BUY A WORKOUT MAGAZINE TO GET SOME IDEAS. TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE. GUYS.
