One Mom's Musings About Boys in the Dance World

Is This the Right Dance Studio for My Son?

October 1, 2008 by ninaamir 1 Comment

We have been on a quest for the right dance studio for our son it seems forever, which is not to say that we haven’t been happy with some of the studios where he has danced. I’m sure that the mothers of female dancers struggle with the same issue, since finding a good fit for any […]

Back to Dancin' – and Writin' – Once Again

September 29, 2008 by ninaamir Leave a Comment

After a long hiatus, I’m back…and so is my son – to dancing that is.  I admit I got waylaid from writing this blog (I write another blog at www.purespiritcreations.com), and then my son got sick.

What Benji Schwimmer Says about Dance Injuries

April 7, 2008 by ninaamir Leave a Comment

Boys who have, like my son, suffered time off of dance while they recuperated from dance-related injuries, should know they are not alone.

My Foot Hurts…Again and Other Pains of Being a Young Male Dancer

April 1, 2008 by ninaamir Leave a Comment

I’ve got a son who dances. 13-year-old Julian dances six or seven days a week. He spends most of his time doing ballet, because he knows it will make him a great dancer in terms of technique. He has a scholarship at Ballet San Jose. He also does jazz and hip hop at a Studio […]
