The challenges that young women go through in order to be
successful in the world of dance are well known. However, little is
known about the experiences of young men who choose to take dance
classes in non-professional settings. Dancing Boys is one of the
first scholarly works to demystify the largely unknown challenges
of adolescent males in dance. Through an ethnographic study of
sixty-two adolescent male students, Zihao Li captures the authentic
stories and experiences of boys participating in dance classes in a
public high school in Toronto. Accompanied by the boys' artwork and
photographs and supported by a documentary-style video, the study
explores their motivations for dancing, their reflections on
masculinity and gender, and the internal and external factors that
impact their decisions to continue to dance professionally or in
informal settings. With the author's reflections on his own journey
as a professional dancer woven throughout, Dancing Boys will spark
discussion on how and why educators can engage adolescent males in
dance.
