Boy Ballet Dancer | Philadelphia Dance Center // 60 Second Docs

I would love to have the ability you have but unfortunately my feet are as flat as pancakes. They lack the arch which is necessary for so much which affects so many things. You move with grace and precision, you create art with your body. That passion you have shows, long may you continue to dance.

Should I join ballet for me

Good message Gabe! I think ballerino's are way stronger than regular athletes by far, have you seen the legs of some principle dancers? I hope you had success in your dance life :)

I been doing ballet for 6 years and I agree with gabe I would
Love. More boys to be there but we grew up “it’s for girls”

Little Update for the Gabe fans, I'm Gabe's cousin. Gabe has given up dance and now plays football.

Nureyev, Baryshnikov, Nijinsky, Vasiliev, Millepied, etc. I love to watch ballet!!!

Go, Gabe. You're amazing. It is indeed an art, and many people lack the maturity to realize it's not girly, but just beautiful.

Shout out for all the boy dancers! Would love to get an update of Gabriel 5 years later. I hope he is doing fine!

Your not just a ballet dancer, you are both articulate and to my my a legend.

Wow amazing

respect

I’m an almost 12 year old boy who does dance. I do street dance, ballet and tap and most people would think that there would be more boys in street than ballet and tap but I’m the only boy in my street dance class and there are 2 other boys in my ballet and tap 😂

My man is a genius
does ballet to get the girls.
:smart:

I’ve been doing dance since I was 6 and I’m now 13 it’s great 😂

Where's Gabe today?

What's Gabe’s full name? I intend to do more research on his information.

Well said.

they said that negative feedback cause them notice he is gay, but who's care that?? people always are jerk, no more.

I’m a classmate of this guy, AMA

Ballet is super fun when there is no competition and fewer girls >.> I always wished there were more boys.

I play football baseball and basketball u know. The real sport. Ps football is way harder than dance

Well done, Gabe. Stick with it — your future looks bright!

I’m a boy and I would like to be a girl but unfortunately they wouldn’t accept me how I am

Why not, Ballet is very demanding physically and fun as well.

Omg I really want to be a dancer but idk what my dad will say💂

he courage me i wanna do it

and plus all ur classm8ts are girls

I would but like I can’t get over the judgement

As someone who played rugby at a high level and then took some adult beginner ballet classes I can assure you ballet is physically and mentally really demanding. Ballet dancers function at a totally higher level to other athletes.

OMG. I'm so in love with this boy and also so impressed by what he said, that I can't believe that those words came out from a child's mouth. Take a look at his vocabulary and how sure and confident he is when he speaks about what he believes and about how he sees things. He is so sure about his point about this topic (boys in ballet), that I got really really impressed. OMG 2x !!!!!!!

Beautiful! Dance Sweetie!

I am a boy as well, and I really want to take dance, because of shows like dance moms and the next step, I kinda got introduced to dance. Then when I was 10 I started dancing around my house for fun. A couple of my friends who were girls did dance and I picked up a few moves from them. I had already been doing Irish dance for 7 years, but I always wanted to do ballet/ contemporary. Then at age 12 I started attempting turns and leaps, and at age 13, I worked on technique. Now I’m 14, and I am going to start taking classes and I’m really excited, but I just hope that it’s not too late to start dance.

13 downvotes were true sissies

He is so cute!

My name is Gabe (Gabriel) and I also do ballet.

I’m a guy and I love to do ballet even though it’s so hard. Proud male dancer

I wanna be like him

lies football takes way way way more effort than dancer THE SUPERBOWL duh!!!

hey ballet boy, a lot of professional football players dance to improve their agility.

Preach boy preach!

I am inspired. 😊

I want to know what the name of that music track is.

I'm 82.  I had the same experience as Gabriel.  I want him to know I'm still dancing.  Today, I performed movement from West Side Story at Broadwaycon in NYC.  Keep going, Gabriel.  Do yourself proud.

i know that feeling

well boys can dance too, but why choose ballet? there are many dances there for boys

He's so adorable

bravo to you, Gabe ! -- all boys can learn a lot from your example - and as far as football goes, I don't care how talented some of those athletes may be...it is still plain and simple a violent sport - a civilized world should take no pleasure in enjoying violent activities for entertainment purposes - but we are not so civilized yet - the ballet should be more popular than football

I'm a 10 year old jazz dancer I completely understand what he is saying :) I feel like somebody had the courage to say it and also the 10 people who dislike this have no soul or heart Everything us dancer's do we feel passion I'm the only boy too this guy is amazing.

This young man has a wide knowledge

He Just Need Girl Cloths hahah
