My 15 yr old S has been in dance class since he was 3 yrs old. We used to call him the “front and center boy” because in a class of all girls, they would always put him…front and center. It is still fun to sit in the audience at performances and recitals and hear little boys in the audience exclaim incredulously “There’s a boy up there!” And then we’ve heard dads try to explain quietly why “their” sons can’t take dance class. But, sadly, my now 5’10" son is currently “back and center”, except when he solos. : )
