However, little is known about the experiences of young men who choose to take dance classes in non-professional settings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDancing Boys\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the first scholarly works to demystify the largely unknown challenges of adolescent males in dance. Through an ethnographic study of sixty-two adolescent male students, Zihao Li captures the authentic stories and experiences of boys participating in dance classes in a public high school in Toronto. Accompanied by the boys\u0026amp;#x2019; artwork and photographs and supported by a documentary-style video, the study explores their motivations for dancing, their reflections on masculinity and gender, and the internal and external factors that impact their decisions to continue to dance professionally or in informal settings. With the author\u0026amp;#x2019;s reflections on his own journey as a professional dancer woven throughout, \u003ci\u003eDancing Boys\u003c\/i\u003e will spark discussion on how and why educators can engage adolescent males in dance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter one: I am a Dancer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter two: Boys in Dance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter three: Where Are the Dancing Boys?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter four: The Voices of the Dancing Boys\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter five: Transformation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter six: Invisible Barriers\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter seven: Dance Experience \u0026amp; Class\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter eight: Show Time\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter nine: Dancing Through Our Lives\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter ten: Video Documentary on Adolescent Male Dance Students\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEndnotes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52588160680216,"sku":"9781442626324","price":22.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dancing-boys-high-school-males-in-dance-paperback-softback-9781442626324","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
