Male Ballet Dancers

They're from Ken Russell's biopic Valentino (1977).

Hi guys I just wanted to say that you should all watch out for Kiril Radev in the Imperial Russian Ballet, (Romeo and Juliet). He is very cute and has excellent elevation! Anyway all the publicity shots are very dull compared to the real thing, which is most impressive and makes his elevation even more incredible!

This year I have also seen Aterballeto (Italian contemporary ballet). Their Omaggio a Bach is fantastic and really an omaggio to the male bulge. They have a very cute blond dude whose package has a life of its own.

Hey DC - I am VERY appreciative of the skill and strength of the male ballet dancers. That is part of their erotic appeal ;-) In Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake the boys do some lifting of each other, too.

I am also alive to the non-erotic aesthetics of ballet as well, especially as a classically trained musician. I saw Matthew Bourne's "Play Without Words" a couple of years back at the National Theatre in London, and was mesmerised. And then round Christmas 2001 I saw the Nutcracker at the Colisseum and cried in the Christmas Tree/Winter Grove transformation - and the beauty of the leading man was all part of it... It's wonderful when the erotic and the pure aesthetic fuse like that *sigh* I hope they fuse like that in my future life-partner...

I hated being in the orchestra for operas, but always LOVED being in the pit for a ballet. The music is often terribly boring to perform, but you get such a close-up view of what's going on, especially seeing the sweat running down the danseur's face and neck, watching his muscles flex... and I know I'm strange, but I also enjoyed the sound when the women dance en pointe. Your average audience member is not close enough to hear things like this, but the little wooden blocks in the toes of their shoes, against the wooden stage, can be mesmerizing. I even heard a prima ballerina and her danseur hissing insults at each other, all the while smiling and dancing. The audience never knew, but the corps and the orchestra sure as hell did!

As a professional dancer I can tell you that dance belts are about one of the most miserable things to wear however, you become accustomed to the pain of it all. It is common knowledge in the dance world that many dance belts are stuffed or cod pieces are worn. Even the largest cock gets pressed so close to the body that the bulge shrinks in size.

Well, my heartfelt thanks for the sacrifice - as an audience member I think dance theatre is one of life's great experiences. Some questions for the dancers here: how specifically is the dance belt painful? Is it the pressure on your nads? Or the space restriction if you should happen to get hard? And how much do you think that wearing a dance belt is for genuine protection of the jewels and how much might be a puritanical need to hide the male anatomy?

I always buy a size larger and stretch it out while it is wet. It honestly takes me a good year of wearing one to get it to a comfortable state. For me the pouch is not big enough for comfort at all. It takes everything and pulls it in so close to the body so, if you did have an erection in one is would be beyond painful. We call it accordion penis when you take one off because it goes from all shrunk up back to it's normal flaccid state. The cord in the back is thick and can cut into you severely. All I have to say is imagine that rubbing up your ass while sweating profusely, not pretty. I don't think it is there to hide the anatomy as I said before so many male dancers are costumed with cod pieces. It definitely supports beyond belief.

Funny thing about male ballet dancers...

One of the most famous ballet dancers in history, Nijinsky, was said to have a very small penis. I don't think any nude pictures of him exist, or I have never come across any.

He was also one of the first male ballet dancers in the US to wear tights to the titillation of early 20th century audiences.

LOL there is absolutely nothing about ballet that is easy or comfortable, for the males or the females. Now that I think about it, it has got the be the masochist's dream profession. "Waves of sensual pain, with every plie! Dance now, and experience the torture!"

It's no coincidence that Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid" has been made into a ballet so many times...

"Each step she took was, as the Witch had told her, as if she had been treading on pointed needles and knives, but she bore it gladly. At the Prince’s right hand she moved on, light as a soap-bubble, and he, like all the rest, was astonished at her graceful, swaying movements."

BTW this is my favourite children's story...

A special mention has to go out to dancer Jose Martin! Though it's hard to find images of him.

One of my main F-buds is an actor who does musicals. I can only speak for him since he is the only dancer I have ever been with, but he most definately fills out HIS Dance Belt. Oh my. Tall, thin, and hung. Oh my.

Sometimes I have to repeat my reasons for not dating him to myself. :)

I like the ones who have the tight muscular asses... it's hot that they wear thongs underneath

I am certain Nuryev appeared naked in "Playboy" magazine to promote a film about the other Rudolph ("Valentino"). Circa 1978 ?
He simulated sex with singer Michelle Phillips ....

Alex8 and I posted those pics a while ago, post 23 and post 24.
