Today, I was at dance rehearsal. As a male dancer I like to keep the fact that I dance a secret because of the stupid stereotypes male dancers have. This plan was quickly shot down when I discovered I was performing at my school. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at a wedding and I reluctantly joined the dance floor. As soon as I started dancing, I felt my trousers rip. Trying to save face, I kept dancing, hoping no one would notice. A few minutes later, I realized my silk boxer shorts were completely visible to the entire party. FML
Today, my boss caught me singing and dancing in the office when I thought no one was around. Trying to save face, I told him I was just practicing for a team-building event. He smiled and said, "Great, you can lead the next one." Now I have to choreograph a team-building dance. FML
Today, I was pretending to be a ballerina. I was dancing around my room, making a complete dick of myself. I eventually caught sight of a pair of guys grinning and filming me with their cellphones through my window. FML
Today, I was at a ballet recital with my friend, sitting between her and the mother of the head male ballerina. When he came on stage in obscenely tight white tights I whispered to my friend, "You can see his whole freaking package!" I'd whispered to the wrong side. FML
Today, while I was on stage dancing for a competition dress rehearsal, my top fell off, exposing my breasts. I was really embarrassed, but fortunately no one said anything about it. That is until a kid in the audience came up to me and said, "That was a disappointment." FML
Today, while dancing at my studio, our instructor was giving us all characters opposite of ourselves to portray in an improv solo. My friends got cool things like "creepy" and "vulnerable". I got "extremely sexy". FML
Today, I joined a dance class to impress my girlfriend. Halfway through, I realized I had two left feet. The instructor asked me to demonstrate a simple move, and instead I tripped on the mat, fell into another dancer, and took her down with me. I’ve been banned from all future classes. FML
Today, in dance class we did a choreography where we wear two shirts and take one off in one quick motion. After I took mine off, the audience goes "aaah". Then I realize that I had taken both my shirts off as stood there with only my bra on. I was being videotaped. FML
Today, I was at a party and I danced. Judging by people's stares, I should never ever attempt it again. FML
Today, I went to a party. I tried dancing in public for the first time ever. Judging by the whispers, stares, and giggles, I'm never doing it again. FML

OP, they can smell your fear. if you act all ashamed, then you will get slapped with that stereotype, but if you embrace it, and rock that shit like a ******* beast, aint nobody gonna give you the business

Some of the worlds best chefs are guys. Why would they be embarassed of being good / better cooks than females. I think the same implies here. DON'T be embarassed. Go out there and put up a great show!

Considering that male chefs not only outnumber female chefs and earn on average about 25% than their female counterparts, your comment makes no sense at all. There is a stereotype that male dancers are gay. Never heard one about chefs.

she's referring to the stereotype that women belong in the kitchen and are supposed to all the cooking in the house. is it really that hard to understand?
DDCA 24
I get that. An extremely antiquated way of thinking. But a woman in the kitchen isn't a chef. And a lot of women do not know how to cook at all these days. Is it really that hard to understand?

If you put on a great show, no-one will tease. Be proud of what you do - it's not easy and I'm sure that you will get more cheers than jeers. Good luck with the show :)

HEY! He can dance if he wants to. He can leave his friends behind. 'Cos his friends don't dance and if they don't dance well they ain't no friends of mine! *Safety Dance!*

So he gets to get up close and personal with a bunch of girls not wearing that much, and show of his skills. That rocks!

Wear a mask? Fake sick? Show your true self and ignore what everyone else thinks because you're up there doing what you love?

This is a good thing OP! When I was in school I got called ballerina boy because of my gymnastics and trampolining (the shoes look like ballet shoes) until I got called in to perform for a parents evening and the whole school saw my routine. It was instant popularity and I'm guessing as a dancer you're in pretty good shape, take off your shirt and let them insult you with the girls drooling ;)

You want to keep it a secret, but here you are telling us all... Just because you don't know who we are, doesn't mean the insults are going to hurt any less lol

Show who you are! Honestly, its nothing to be ashamed of. Stereotypes? The best way to avoid being stereotyped is to PROVE THEM WRONG! So pull up your big boy pants, get out there, and do your thing!
