Ashton Edwards will be the first male dancer to study en pointe at the prestigious Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB).
Art is about stepping out from the bounds of the ordinary. That's called creativity.
BTW, I hope you have an information source that delivers real news like Reuters instead of propaganda and controversy.
Did the school decide lets do a we will add another student more than usual just for him? Or did they tell a girl she can't go?

He's an amazing talent who is taking both male AND female ballet classes. How many have the talent, stamina and ambition to learn both skills?
He's already a student at the school. He's only taking 1 or 2 more classes to grow as an artist. I doubt that has anything to do with school enrollment numbers.
If your to weak to lift a girl then you need to take her place.
shareYour reading comprehension is bad. He's still studying male ballet. He added one class to learn a skill normally reserved to females. Artists don't like to be limited.
There were many Soviet ballet dancers who defected to the West because they found ballet in the USSR to be too stifling. One cannot express themselves artistically if it's forbidden.
I'd like to see you lift your entire body on the tip of your large toe.
Just say when he gets out of school he won't be lead dancer with not being able to lift a girl. this is just a option that maybe some group will hire him because they want to be different.Most of the crossovers is because the guy can't cut it in the mens world.
shareAgain, your reading comprehension is bad.
He plans to do male ballet. He's hoping to have the opportunity to do more than only dancing the male parts.
Why do you care? I don't believe you've ever been to a ballet.
Well most likely he wants to be a career student because he knows nobody will hire him as a male because he is weak. And no hire for a woman because he is to heavy. He will just stay in school taking as many classes as they will let him.Then get a job at starbucks or half price books.
shareHe's already dancing professionally. And he has worked as an instructor. And he has a full scholarship. And he was used thrice in the ballet advertising campaign.
Face it! He's an ambitious over-achiever. He'll do well in life.

Is he going to tape it back like Sean Young in "Ace Ventura"?
shareYou sure it's male? Probably just identifies as one but is really a female. I guess you'll be noticing his little nutsacks wobbling as he spins around in tight Yoga.
shareI expected the bigoted comments from the OP because he's a Trumpist and has a history of making them.
Live and let live. The dancer isn't hurting you in any way. Just saying.
Well at least now he won't now drop a girl in front of everyone when he is suppose to lift her.I wonder if some guy will make a issue now they have to lift him now?
shareI do enjoy it when the monster turns on the ones who created it.
