All in all, the roles of gender have greatly changed throughout ballet’s history. Each genre of ballet has had it’s own variation on the role that men and women should play in a performance. Personally, I feel that even though ballet began as a male dominant art it is currently dominant by females. Growing up many of my dance teachers were females and many of my fellow dancers were girls. If there were males in my ballet classes it would usually be one or two. It has become a stereotype to assume that dancers are usually females. I hope that in the generations of ballet dancers to come males start to make a comeback.
