Meet Three Nonbinary Ballet Dancers Performing On Pointe

Dance Magazine: Since the advent of the pointe shoe in the 19th century, dancing on pointe has been the province of the ballerina. Male, trans, and nonbinary dancers interested in performing on pointe had few opportunities; some men performed in the comedic drag troupe Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, or did slapstick roles like the mother in La Fille mal gardée and Cinderella’s stepsisters.
