Matthew Bournes Swan Lake wows teen boys ballet class

[andrewcraig]

I met last year at the airport a dance teacher and we spent some time discussing the impact on boys learning ballet. Numbers are way up and BETM is given most of the credit.

BE the film was shown one night as a motivational as well as educational as most boys had not seen it.

As a special treat she played as an encore a clip from Matthew Bourne Swan lake to explain the context of the final scene. The boys were blown away and she found herself downloading other clips. This one is the class most popular.
