dancing men in Switzerland are a rarity. Why?
The reasons are many and varied. This has to do with our culture. And a whole lot of with loss of control. What is not for men pleasant. It also has to do with understanding of the Body. Women are socialized differently. You have less Shy to show themselves, they dance in a Club, and the men stand at the edge, and rockers, only with the foot.
Is not it so that men who are interested in professional dance, apply quickly as gay?
That is a very great prejudice and a stereotype. But Yes, it’s there. I also teach children. Since Jack is only in pre-school age. But there are also Small, say that is gay. It would help if the dance, such as in England would be part of the school curriculum.
“I offer men a safe environment where they are free and not in the minority.”Tina mantle, choreographer
Dance dance in your #man-courses and pieces, then a construction worker with bankers?
That would be nice. It is still mainly men from the so-called soft Professions: educators, artists. The channels that are available to me, not enough to UBS.
It may really just come men to you?
Yes, I offer them a protected environment where they are free and not in the minority. An example: We made for the first piece improvisations, and at some point I said, okay, now that makes everything more times, but with women. It was not. One of the participants then got to the point: “If we are alone, then such a feeling is there “one for all, all for one”. If the women are there, it means the same: against all.”
“men can discover about the dance new Strengths and that of female Konnotiertem benefit.”Tina mantle, choreographer
you are indeed the only woman – advances because there is no theme?
no. I wondered about that at first. But I have married children, and am over 50. Since I’m probably already out of the race. Maybe it would be different if I were 25.
you operate with your dance classes and projects, so men promotion?
Yes, but I see myself as a feminist. For me, it is evident that the equality can only go further if men also change. Here we go only together. I can see it in my two sons and my brothers: As more is still possible. Men can discover about the dance new Strengths and that of female Konnotiertem benefit, instead of seeing it as a threat.
