A very cute young boy, about 10 years old, was at the ballet studio where I do accounting work. It was his first day at class, and he was thrilled yet shy about it all. We have a fenced area in back for parents / students to park which is quite private. This little boy, Danny was his name, was bouncing on his toes after class self-consiously yet happily fingering the dark blue tights he was wearing. His mother, in a rush, handed him a pair of long shorts (the kind that go to just above the knee, and told him "Lets get a move on, Danny,we have to get home right away". Danny simply lifted his small feet and stepped into the shorts, not bothering to remove his tights. Then, taking of his ballet slippers, he put on his skater shoes, and threw on a light jacket. He stood there slightly hopping in place, wiggling his feet, waiting for his mom to finish up with the director. I heard him say that his shoes 'felt neat' as they slid around his tights-encased feet. What a gentle, genteel, and adorable little boy... sure to be a bit of a sissy now, that he's discovered his fascination with tights!
tjboy: Very sharp eyes. Boys often "adapt" to the feeling of igrlish attire---it has undeniable appeal. I think it's natural that boys are tempted to the siren call of girlishness.!
my mother made me go to ballet classes with my sister, the thing is danny she said, its an all girl class so I couldnt go as a boy but you could borrow your sisters clothes and go as a girl and with a pair of tights on nobody would know your a boy, so I was dressed in a pair of pink tights over pink panties and a tutu skirt, mum gave me a few quick lessons on how to behave as a girl and we went to the class, I soon got used to acting like a girl and I enjoyed the ballet and got quite good at it. Back home mum said there is no point in me being a boy again as there are more classes in a few days and said, it would be best if I remained dressed as a girl for a few weeks so I would not forget how to act like one, she also said its best if she changes my name to Danella and as your 12 year old it would be better if we styled my hair to that of a 12 year old girl and she could get me my own pretty dresses and knickers and anything else a 12 year old girl needs and we could give all my old boys toys and games to charity to make room for some new dolls to play with, I said ok mum but would I still be allowed to play with my mates, she said, no honey, it's best I play with other little girls from now on so I can see how girls my age behave. I soon made new freinds and my best freind was a girl called Nancy and she showed me how girls our age played with our dollies and other girly games. When ballet school ended for the season mum asked me if I wanted to go back as a boy again and I told her, no mum, please dont make me a boy again as I like being a girl and all my freinds are girls and I have so much more fun being a girl, mum said, don't worry Danella you will always be a girl now and besides I have got used to you being my daughter now, she said now run along and call for your freind Nancy and have fun playing with your dollies sweety, she said.
I attendended ballet from 6 and used my sisters hand me down ballet uniform.
I remember the first day I started. I had my bath as I had wet my night diaper. I then was helped into a pair of pink panties (mummy said they were my boys ballet underwear). I was then helped into the white tights. My legs felt tingly when they slipped up my legs.
Mummy then helped me with my blue leotard. It was hard putting it on. I loved admiring myself in the mirror. I was then put in a pair of my red velvet shorts, white blouse and black t-bar sandels.
I loved my first ballet lessons. After the lessons the girls put on ballet wrap skirts over their leotards for 15 minutes of freestlye. They had to make up a dance and show it to the class. Mummy produced a skirt for me. I paired up with the only other boy in the class. He was 7 and called Freedrick. He was dressed in black tights and white leotard. He had blue satin shorts on.
He said he liked my outfit and wished he was brave enough to wear it. We did a street dance routine which everyone liked.
