This is one of the only picture (below) I could find that involved the female lifting the male. These gender roles in dance give off the idea that females are not capable of being equally strong or stronger than the male. To me, this picture is very powerful. It challenges the idea that males are the ones that should be lifting and supporting the woman. To others it might be uncomfortable to see because it challenges the norms. But does that make it bad? Almost every new dance that enters the dance world challenges what the norm before. That’s why we find that these specific gender roles aren’t always portrayed in dance.

These types of gender roles are most often seen in Ballet. Ballet is a widely known art form that has been going on since the 1500s. This type of dance is elegant, formal, and quite beautiful to watch. As you see in these photos, the male is taller and either picking up or holding the female. Both male and female ballet dancers have to be extremely strong to do this dance. But the male is most always seen as the one that is stronger because he is always lifting the woman. Why do we see these gender roles? Imagine that the roles were switched. How does that make you feel?

“male and female dancers”. As you can see, all these photos belo involve the man supporting the woman with their bodies. The male is either picking the woman up or keeping her from falling. The type of gender roles are the male being taller and stronger than the woman and supporting her body with his. And the female being smaller and weaker. So you see that the women rely on the male to balance them and keep them off the ground. Is this seen in all types of dance?

Angelina Ballerina Brief; A feisty little mouseling who loves to dance and dreams of becoming a famous prima ballerina. She often wears a pink leotard, tutu, no panties, hair ribbon, and ballet slippers.

The description itself already says to me that this programme is designed for little girls wanting to grow up and become a prima ballerina after having watched and seen it on tv

Personally it came to my attention Blue is for boys and pink is for girls, or so we're told. However do these gender norms reflect some inherent biological difference between the sexes, or are they culturally constructed? It depends on whom you ask, generally speaking the general public may say Pink is the official colour for little girls this suggests that suggesting if a boy were to wear pink or like the colour, there could be seen as something wrong...
