Crossdressing can go beyond clothes, makeup, and accessories: we can exhibit it through behaviors, habits, and activities related to the female sex.
When I was a kid, I watched girls doing ballet in their pastel pink leotards with matching skirts, ballet shoes, and pantyhose.
Back then, with a very fertile imagination, I sometimes imagined myself wearing that outfit and not wanting to wear it. Today, I confess my curiosity about wanting to know what it's like to wear one of those outfits.
Of course, many boys/men do ballet and there are male ballet costumes. Still, ballet is mostly seen as feminine, not only historically, but with most of those who practice being female.
There are several styles and colors of ballet attire: lace tights, printed, colorful, etc. I would prefer the all-pink girlie style. I would make me feel as if I were a princess.
But if there's anything as interesting as wearing a ballet uniform, it might be…actually practicing it?
An hour-long ballet class has been estimated to burn around 400 calories - an amount greater than that of taking part in hour-long activities such as American Football, yoga, volleyball, and Pilates. Ballet is a physical activity that burns calories and exercises the body, increasing one's physical resistance and can help with losing weight.
So… in addition to practicing your femininity, you are engaged in physical activity. For a proper experience, besides the costume, you'll need to have a ballet barre. There are several tutorials on the internet on how to make your own ballet bar.
You can research and watch multiple videos with ballet class instruction. The pandemic has advanced virtual classes, including ballet classes. Ballet teachers earn money by teaching online classes to students thousands of miles away.
Rarer than men who dance ballet (with men's attire) are crossdressers who dance ballet. It is a gap that can and must be filled. Many complain about the taboo of men who do ballet, but it is precisely because ballet is a predominantly female activity that it can be very attractive to crossdressers, who can have fun with the hobby, practice physical activity and exercise their femininity with a typically female activity. And all while wearing a beautiful feminine ballet costume.
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we could have ballet teachers be open to teaching crossdressers either individually (at a distance or in-person) or in groups? Maybe there already are, but if not, wouldn't it be interesting to have ballet groups with only crossdressers…
It would also be interesting to have womanless ballet shows, such as they have Womanless Beauty Pageants.
Crossdressing allows opening doors to different worlds of the feminine universe.
Everything will someday depend on our curiosity and not only on our willingness to experience each new opportunity but on the world becoming a place where we can do so.
- Have you ever wanted to try on a female ballet costume?
- Have you ever wanted to train / dance ballet?
- Did reading this article make you want it?
I'm looking forward to the answers

@marieclaire2 When I was young, my mother had season tickets to the ballet. She would often take me with her. I was probably a little too excited about it. I wanted so badly to take it with my sisters. I even had the courage to ask once but was quickly reminded that any “sissy” behavior would not be tolorated in my home. Fast forward. I decide to get therapy for my dysphoria. My therapist asked me why I didn’t take classes now. It never occured to me that I could do that without getting laughted out of the room. I reached out to a local studio and was honest with my motivations. They responded with, we don’t judge here. We teach dance. I didn’t dare go in female costume. But I went to private lessons first. OMG. I enjoyed it so much. Then the studio moved and I had to quit. I found that the major ballet company that I used to go see with my mom had an academy where they taught adult beginning lessons. OMG! I went! It was a dream come true. Some of the principal dancers would sometimes join the class. I was litterally at the barre with some of the principal dancers! They were so kind and helpful. It was better therapy than all the sessions I had ever done combined. I loved it so much. Plus, it was an amazing workout. Then covid happened and I have not been able to go back since. I was to try again soon. I never got the nerve to wear my girl dancewear. But I don’t think they would bat an eye if I did. It is never too late to have a happy childhood!
Hi Marie. Oh what a lovely thought to be a ballerina. I would love to do that and wear such a beautiful outfit but sadly I have 2 left feet.
As a young boy I use to accompany a friend of mine to her ballet classes once in awhile. I always want to wear the leotard, tights and a tutu. Thought they were just oh so cute. I remember watching movies like the “red shoes”, and “can’t take it with you” (Just to watch Ann Miller dance). For years I dreamed of wearing them but alas I never did…paradise lost.
Posture and poise are a big part of being feminine 🙂↕️
