What does queer ballet look like? It’s a strange question to some people, given the very strong association, in the public imagination, between ballet and gay men. Like, isn’t ballet already just super queer? It’s true that the ballet world is, for a lot of gay men, a haven of sorts. It’s a place where they’re not a tiny minority — some research, which needs to be updated, suggest about 50% of professional male ballet dancers are gay — and where, as a result, they’re fairly unremarkable.
