Due to its graceful and light movements, its clothing, and body postures, ballet is tied to characteristics that are socially perceived as feminine. The aim of this paper is to describe the way men live and interact within the classic ballet environment, a way that is deemed deviant according to Western heteronormative norms of gender and sexuality. The overall idea was to delineate the masculinity that surrounds and is built in this space, and how ballet operates to build the identities of these individuals. The research was done through direct observation in a ballet school linked to one of the oldest and most important ballet institutions in Brazil. The main idea expressed is that ballet acts as a protective environment for young men who break out of heteronormativity. It is believed that men subvert social norms in this environment because that is where behaviors that escape hegemonic masculinity are more acceptable, gain representativeness and legitimacy.
由于其优雅轻盈的动作、服装和身体姿势，芭蕾舞与社会认知中女性化的特征紧密相连。本文旨在描述男性在古典芭蕾舞环境中的生活和互动方式，这种方式根据西方异性恋规范的性别和性取向标准被视为异常。总体思路是勾勒围绕并构建于这个空间的男性气质，以及芭蕾舞如何塑造这些个体的身份。这项研究是通过对巴西最古老、最重要的芭蕾舞机构之一附属的一所芭蕾舞学校进行直接观察来完成的。所表达的主要观点是，芭蕾舞为突破异性恋规范的年轻男性提供了一个保护环境。人们认为，男性在这个环境中颠覆社会规范，因为在那里，逃脱霸权男性气质的行为更容易被接受，更具代表性和合法性。
