Bournemouth ballet class gives boys ‘a place to be themselves’

Ballet wouldn’t be the same without male dancers, but boys can hesitate to take it up.

A Bournemouth dance teacher has set up boys-only classes to encourage more to get started.

Natalie Pearl teaches about 50 boys, many of whom go on to work.

She says her students can express themselves on the dance floor in ways they aren’t comfortable with in school.
