This study investigates the competitive world of pre-professional Western concert dance training and education in the U.S. as experienced and lived by boys and young men, an under-represented population in the field. The substantial social implications about gender, femininity, masculinity, homophobia, sexual orientation, gendered bodies, and child culture will appeal to multiple readerships interested in arts education, humanizing pedagogies, and social justice concerns.
