In this two-part series, siblings Bryce and Noelle Lee bring both the male and female ballet dancer perspective to the conversation. Bryce, Founder of the Male Dance Connection, and Noelle share their experiences in ballet, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of male dancers. They discuss the importance of mentorship, community, and supportive environments for boys in dance, as well as practical ways MDC helps, like navigating summer programs. They also talk about how hard it can be for young boys in ballet today. As working dancers themselves, they've created MDC to expand their network, supplement their income, and build careers beyond performing.
