At the Finch Stage School we strongly encourage boys to dance. This helps to develop strong physiques, confidence, posture and increased stamina, which is why so many sports men and women study ballet as part of their fitness programme.
The lines between the different types of dance are vanishing and ballet is a totally essential basis for any dancer, actor or singer, for poise and confidence. It provides a physical discipline that is a preparation for any branch of show business.
Boys; why should dance be for the privilege of girls? Dancing is good fun and an extremely healthy hobby. Let's get rid of the extremely old fashioned and untrue stigma about boy dancers and let them enjoy dancing and all its rewards. After all it is the age of equal opportunities!
